Good for .223, most likely excellent, actually, but a small percentage won't handle 5.56.
If you really want the Wylde chamber I'd get a barrel from a smaller volume manufacturer. |

I have shot lots of 5.56 out of my RRA Predator Pursuit (Wylde) and no problems...
Here is another thread on the subject... http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=3&f=12&t=432193 |

RRA on the Wylde Chamber:
"The .223 Wylde chamber was designed as a match chambering for semi-automatic rifles. It will accommodate both .223 Rem and 5.56 NATO ammunition. It is relieved in the case body to aid in extraction and features a shorter throat for improved accuracy." I've got a couple of rifles from Rock River Arms chambered in .223 Wylde and they both shoot .223 and 5.56 very accurately and without any problems. Basically it's a match chamber designed to support both .223 and 5.56. I've been impressed enough that my next upper will be a Wylde too. |

I had to have mine reamed with a 5.56 reamer to shoot 5.56. It would blow primers almost every round before reaming shooting XM193.
ETA: but that doesn't mean that you will have problems, I just happen to be one in the small percentage that got unlucky. |

I have a 20"Rock River Varmint rifle that has the Wylde chamber. The Wylde chamber is for getting the most accuracy out of your gun's chamber. Other varmint or match rifles have a similar accuracy chamber. |
