you can shoot a 223 out of a 556 chambered weapon, but you can't shoot a 556 out of a 223. that's why it says both. Hope that helped

Quoted:
On RRA website they say that there mid length A4 is .223/5.56 Nato chamber. So can anyone tell me what is it .223 or 5.56 Nato? I have been doing some research and I believe that these two calibers are not exactly the same size... right? Right: all 5.56 will shoot either. A .223 will only shoot the .223 RRA uses a Wylde chamber so both will work. |

On our Varmint A4 the site is specific about .223 Wylde chamber. On our Elite Comp the site says .223/5.56 NATO under chamber specs. I wonder why there's a difference? I couldn't find a definite answer on the RRA site.
