Is there a civilian version of 5.56?

>>33567607
.223 has the exact outside dimensions of 5.56

>>33567607

Maybe I'm not understanding the question, but there are many ammo manufacturers that sell 5.56 to the civilian market.

Now they might not sell exclusively to civilians, but what does that matter?

>>33567615
So if i would buy for example Galil 5.56 i could load it with .223?

>>33567607
I frequently see bulk ammo labeled M193 or M855 at both small LGS and big box stores. So yes.

Yeah, it's called 5.56.

> Take .223 case
> Take .224 bullet
> Load .5 more grains of CFE223 than usual

You now have a 5.56x45 bullet.

Yes you dumb fuck.

>>33567607
Nigga, they outright sell military surplus 5.56 on the civilian market, hell, it's actually cheaper than commercially made .223 by a considerable amount (like, $0.13 to $0.25 a round instead of $0.50 to $1.00 a round

>>33567668
Well then that's good but i can't find any 5.56 surplus in my country

>>33567648
Zed you glorious fuck, you're not getting the hate you used to have since a good portion of the board is newfags.

>>33567727
It's not the real Zed tripcode newfaggot retard

>>33567718

So change countries, I guess?

>>33567718
then shoot .223, there's only a problem when shooting 5.56 out of SOME .223 chambers (.223 chambers can be a bit tighter)

but .223 out of a 5.56 chamber is never a safety or function issue, the brass dimensions are identical.

>>33567607
Yeah, its called 5.56

>>33567718
Move to a country that isn't shit.

Nope, they are NOT exactly the same. Look close. Unless you have .223 Wylde chambering, the .223 loses accuracy in a 5.56mm chamber, and the 5.56 loses pressure and reliability in a .223 chamber.
