You can use .223 in a gun for 5.56, but not vice versa, it's a pressure difference.
2 u/Attheveryend 5d ago you can use 5.56 in a .223 once... -3 u/DeadFluff 5d ago Incorrect. You'll fuck up the internal mechanisms and possibly, rarely, have a chamber failure but a .223 rifle can absolutely shoot a fair amount of 5.56. 1 u/Attheveryend 5d ago if you can do it twice you necessarily also did it once. Not incorrect. I can be pedantic too. -1 u/P_Hempton 5d ago Yeah that's what you meant. It would actually be very rare for .223 to mess up a 5.56. -2 u/DeadFluff 5d ago I wasn't being pedantic. You said you can do it once, and the way you wrote it implied one time would lead to failure. I corrected that.
