So if I get the wylde it can shoot .223 and 5.56? Or are they the same?
They are *similar*
Similar enough for me to shoot either or if got a .223?
The external dimensions of the two cartridges are identical
The difference lies in the internal dimensions
I guess what I'm saying is. Is it possible to shoot both cartridges?
If you get a .223 wylde or a 5.56 barrel, yes
So it's in the barrel? Mostly then?
Nvm that was dumb
Don't sweat it, I'll explain
Thanks for taking time with me my guy
No problem
I mentioned that their external dimensions are identical
5.56 Nato ammo runs at a higher chamber pressure than .223 remington ammo
.223 remington ammo also likes to engage rifling for accuracy much sooner than 5.56 does
The reason that this is important to mention is because the combination of the two will cause a .223 remington barrel to eventually fail
If you run 5.56 through it
OOOHH
Ok I get it now. Sounds like maybe in a jam you could mix match per say. Otherwise pick one and role with it.
You can mix and match as long as you do not buy a dedicated .223 remington chambered barrel
Shtf?
"Shit hits the fan"
HAHAH ok
Yah for shtf
It's a term used to describe some sort of catastrophic scenario that one might prep for, i.e. civil war, economic collapse, nuclear attack, etc.
Yeee I'm in Wisconsin sooooo
Oh boy
Yeeee oh boy for sure
Yeah, get either a 5.56 nato barrel or a .223 wylde barrel. 5.56 nato barrels are more common and typically less expensive, if budget is a consideration. It usually is
Now long term would what one would be better. Let's pretend money is no issue
I'd run a .223 wylde barrel, myself
The reason being is that you'll be able to still take full advantage of the .223 remington's accuracy
But for all practical purposes, a 5.56 barrel will run both with plenty enough accuracy to make for a good defensive tool
Perfect! 5.56 it is
Thank you for all your help!
Anytime. Stay frosty out there
yah will do. Its not that i want to get involved with these people who want to hurt pro trump but i really dont want to be wishing i could of done something after its too late
