From my understanding the wylde chamber improves accuracy, but also accommodates both .223 and 5.56. Well whats the down side then?

I have noticed any down side to it.

The downside is that most factory Wylde chambers are more or less a bit loose .223 chambers.
Ned Christiansen has an excellent article in this issue of SWAT on how a true 5.56 doesn't hurt
practical accuracy while providing reliability.

Zero problems with the Wylde chambers that I own.

I've heard that the throat in the Wylde chamber is cut deeper than that of a .223 or 5.56. Has anyone here measured the freebore in a Wylde chambered barrel?
