No. The case head is the same.
Check the Ammo Oracle. I believe there is a lot there on the whole 5.56 vs. .223 debate. |

Heay Bro, we all have been there. 5.56 IS .223. Same ammo.... The civilians call it .223 cal. Military calls it 5.56 |

You are incorrect, the calibers of .223 and 5.56 are NOT the same. While interchangeable for the most part, it doesn't change that they are not the same thing. |

Not that much of a newbie, cute.......absolutely not. Im familiar with the 5.56 vs. .223 controvery and who uses what, but the 5.56 designation of the Stag bolt through me for a loop. Just got it ordered.
Thanks for the input. |

Stick is correct, while the 5.56 & .223 share the same caliber bullet the case is slightly different. The 5.56 case is thicker to handle the higher pressure it was designed for. You can safely shoot .223 in a rifle chambered for 5.56, but you should not shoot 5.56 in a rifle chambered strictly for .223 rem. I guess a few rounds wont hurt , but i would not make a habbit of it . PATRIOT ARMORY .
