  1. Ive got both a 5.56 bcm barrel and a .223 wylde barrel on my blackout defense. Both shoot great unfortunately to really test the accuracy you have to use 77grain match grade ammo and the way things are looking im just happy to have 55grain ammo.

  2. so… i dont know if this is still the case, but i have a friend who used to work for Ruger. the Mini-14 could come in either 556 or 223, the inside secret, they were the same, like identical.

    the initial reason was Canada. in Canada you could not sell a semiautomatic firearm in 556 because it is considered a "war cartridge", but you could have one in 223. so they literally just stamped them as 223 for one batch, and the next batch as 556.

    it ended up being for fudds also who thought the 556 was inaccurate and the 223 was accurate. same barrel, same rifling, different marking, that's it.

  3. This is perfect timing. I'm just working up a parts list for an 18".223 Wylde AR to pretend like I know how to shoot. I live in the Ozarks so there's no point in 6PRC or Grendel or anything else because a couple yards is a "long" shot around here – if there's not a hill in the way, there's a forest in the way.
