So, when people talk about you can't shoot 5.56 in a .223 gun they always talk about over pressuring your gun. Ok, I'm fine with that, but what part of the gun are they talking about?
I have a savage 11f coming. The action on that gun is able to swap out with many other different barrels and bolts. So, if the action is what limits the gun, would it be safe to say that my action is rated up to a higher pressure. If it is the barrel, then all I have to do is switch barrels right?
The savage 11f is chambered in all of these: 223 Rem, 22-250 Rem, 243 Win, 7mm-08 Rem, 308 Win Here's the source!.
So, what I've read on the interweb is: if the 5.56 will chamber in my rifle, will I be ok to plink with military surplus. Excluding: hard primers, crap accuracy, the almighty one striking me down.
