It's a chamber intended for precision rifles using full power 5.56 ammo.  Based on personal experience I don't recommend it for tactical or defensive use... the tight diameter throat can mean difficulty in ejecting live rounds until the barrel wears a bit or after long shooting strings without cleaning.

There are other chambers besides 5.56 NATO, Wylde, and 223 SAAMI.

The first responder nailed it.  I was just going to say it's a type of match chamber that is tighter than 5.56.
