Wylde Cambering questions

[Fe Butte]

So if you have a rifle chambered for .223 many say (or the maker says not to) not to fire 5.56 NATO in it because of the excess pressure for that loading. (?)


You can shoot .223 in one chambered for 5.56 but has less accuracy. (?)


Then there is the Wylde chambered barrels which they say gives better accuracy when firing .223 from it. (?)


.223 Wylde or 5.56mm NATO?

" > "A common question, with a simple answer. Both the barrel options included in this complete AR-15 kit will safely shoot 5.56mm NATO or .223 Remington ammunition. For some, it's a matter of preference. However, the .223 Wylde barrel will shoot .223 Remington with better accuracy than a barrel chambered in 5.56mm NATO, but can also withstand the pressure load of 5.56mm NATO. The popularity of .223 Wylde chambered barrels as somewhat of a "hybrid" chamber has grown in the past years, bringing the price point of the .223 Wylde down to that of the common 5.56mm NATO barrel." < "


What say ye all? .

My personal opinion, but I say just get the 5.56 and shoot the .223 safely as well. The wilde and the newer .300 blackout can be hard to find ammo for. And if and when the poo hits the fan, likely the only ammo we will be able to access is Nato calibers

The Wylde is the chamber the round fits into, it is the shape of the chamber angle / leade.

They all work just fine, but I'm running handloads so I can get the performance I want out of anything.

Depends on what you want. The Wylde will give you everything but a good price
