>>AKA .223 Rem, .223, 5.56,
5.56mm Nato, 5.56x45mm
>>1.745 - 1.750 O.A.L.
>>The .223 Remington is one of
the most widely used
centrefire cartridges today.
Tracing its roots back to the
.222 Remington, the .223 was
designed to achieve certain
ballistics for military use.
The .223 Remington, when in
its military form, is known as
the 5.56x45mm NATO. The
differences between the two
being the pressures that they
are loaded at and the chamber
in the firearm itself.
>>The .223 has established
itself as an excellent varmint
and target calibre. It
dominates all other rifle
calibres in competitions such
as 3-gun, and has a dedicated
following in several other
sports due to its low recoil
and accuracy potential. Those
two attributes coupled with
good velocity allow it to
excel as a varmint gun also.
>>When loaded at .223
Remington pressures, our brass
is safe to use in any firearm
chambered for .223 or
5.56x45mm. If loaded to 5.56
pressures, you need to use
firearms labelled for use with
5.56mm. It can be unsafe to
fire 5.56mm ammunition in
firearms with a .223 Remington
chamber.
