I’m wondering if I should go .223 Wylde or 5.56x.45 on this next upcoming build. I’ve got about 5k rounds of 5.56, but also around 8-9k of .223. All of my ARs have 5.56 barrels in them so I’m safe to shoot 223. But I’m really interested in this cold hammer forged chrome lined barrel in .223 Wylde. Correct me if I’m wrong but I’m a 5.56 barrel you can shoot .223, in a .223 barrel you don’t want to shoot 5.56 because of pressure, but in a .223 Wylde barrel you can shoot both. And also they are somewhat more accurate (somewhere within like a .04 parameter so big whoop).
But it looks like an awesome barrel and it’s also fluted. Any downsides to .223 Wylde? Should I stick with another 5.56 barrel or what? I’ll be using this rifle anywhere from 200 to 1000 yds. Thanks ahead of time for your input
