[ARCHIVED THREAD] - 223 vs 5.56mm Dies?

Posted: 6/22/2003 5:50:05 AM EDT

I know there is a small difference between 223 and 5.56mm.
Are there Die sets in 5.56mm? Where?

Since the cases are of identical outside size and shape why would there be different dies? Military brass is usually thicker, but the outside measurements are the same.
