I read a lot of people use XM193 ammo in their AR-15. I just read the ammo oricle about it, but I am still a little confused. Since XM193 is 5.56mm, can I still use it in my new Bushmaster 20"?? If so, where is a good place online to order it from? |

What does barrel length have to do with caliber? Either you have a 5.56 barrel of a .223 barrel. If you have a 5.56 barrel, you can safely shoot 5.56 and .223. If you have a .223 barrel, you may have problems with the higher pressured 5.56 ammo. And read the tacked topics for where to find your ammo. |

I don't have my rifle here with me right now so I can't look at it for a few days to see what it says. I just bought it from a gun store the other day, brand new Bushmaster A3 removable handle and 20" barrell. I figured they only come one way, I didn't know you had the choice of either .223 or 5.56mm. |
