What are the benefits of .223 Wylde?
The .223 Wylde chambering offers the flexibility to use both .223 Remington and 5.56x45 NATO ammunition with enhanced accuracy while maintaining safe chamber pressures. The .223 Wylde chambering is just that, a chambering. It is not a new cartridge. .223 Wylde was created as a solution to help seamlessly bridge the gap between military-grade 5.56 NATO ammunition, and .223 Remington ammunition. The hybrid chamber design is an elegant solution that brings the best of both worlds together in a marriage between the .223 Remington chamber and the 5.56 NATO chamber. The .223 Wylde was designed to incorporate the external dimensions and lead angle of the 5.56 NATO cartridge with the .2240 freebore diameter of the .223 Remington. The unique dimensions of the .223 Wylde chamber ensures that both 5.56 NATO and .223 Remington fit just right without creating excess pressure or loss of accuracy from either cartridge. Essentially you get a chamber optimized for the precision you expect from the .223 Remington cartridge without the worry of a dangerous spike in pressure when shooting 5.56 NATO through the rifle. The .223 Wylde chambering is a well-rounded and fantastic option for shooters looking for the flexibility to shoot either .223 Remington or 5.56 NATO without sacrificing accuracy and performance. The.223 Wylde is the best choice for those that value accuracy and precision above all else.
