If it's chambered in 556x45 (that rifle is) you can shoot .223 in it. You can't shoot 556x45 in a .223 though. The 556x45 has a higher pressure.

Heh, I was going to say...  To avoid the flames, stick to the Tech forums.

I'll post a warning that many DPMS rifles SAY they are 5.56 but end up with .223 chambers.  It's been an issue at a few carbine classes.  So be sure to verify your chamber when you get the rifle.
