WA whitetail hunter Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 I know the difference between 223 rem and 556 nato, but what is the deal 223 wylde? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtallen83 Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 The Wylde chamber was designed to safely shoot both 223 and 5.56. You originally found it in many match barrels but it has gained popularity across the board. I have an ArmaLite chambered in Wylde and it is the most accurate rifle I own in that cartridge. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.223_Wylde Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife's AR15 is a 223 Wylde chambering, and I haven't found anything yet to not like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WA whitetail hunter Posted June 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 Thank you that explains it all very plainly and easy to understand. As it stands now I'm good to go with 5.56 chamberings in my ar15's all I want to make sure is I can hit center mass on silhouettes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
