Ken Warner, editor of Cartridges of the World, 6th Edition, 1989, by Frank C. BarnesIn 1979, SAAMI cautioned shooters that 5.56mm military chambers and throats differ from 223 sporting chambers, and therefore military ball ammo may produce high chamber pressures in sporting rifles. At least one manufacturer, Ruger, harumphed that its 223 chambers would handle military 5.56mm with no problems. KW

once again to all you so called internet experts.... If either round. is so different in pressure.... then wait for it......... WHY does both have the same muzzle velocity given the same weight bullet (55grain vs 55grain) ???? if either operated in a different pressure range then velocity would be up or down...
