[greencobra]

this guy recently put out this comparison vid regarding the 223 and 5.56 cartridges. we've had a bit of chatter on these recently and i thought i'd put this up. i learned some info here watching this that i found interesting and not even close to what i thought the differences were. it's not long, about 12 minutes.

I found little difference between them. I fired both military 5.56 M193 and M855 through my bolt-action stainless Savage Axis .223 and my wife's stainless Mini 14 Ranch Rifle. The 55 grain M193 was a bit more accurate, but the Hornady 53 grain polymer tip VMax Superperformance rounds definitely had the highest velocities. No evidence whatsoever of excess chamber pressure in either rifle.

I like his videos. Some great ones on shotshell reloading too...

I’ve watched this before, good run down. Luckily I only have 556 and 223wylde chambers. Even if I had a 223 chambered AR I really wouldn’t be too worried....

A good video but does it really matter when you reload your own.
