    5.56 ammunition in a .223 bolt gun?

    Re: 5.56 ammunition in a .223 bolt gun? I think you jumped to a conclusion after not fully reading the OP and now feel like you have to defend your strict definition. The original intent was evaluation of the cartridge "labeled" Hornady 5.56 NATO TAP in a Remmy XCR Compact Tactical rifle...

    5.56 ammunition in a .223 bolt gun?

    Re: 5.56 ammunition in a .223 bolt gun? 75-grain 5.56 TAP is the OP's ammo, not M855. Is bolt failure more common than ruptured chambers in overpressure situations? When you say "work", I assume you mean "force" or F=P*A. Work is usually force*distance. You don't happen to know exactly...

    5.56 ammunition in a .223 bolt gun?

    Re: 5.56 ammunition in a .223 bolt gun? Let's see, a quick search shows SAAMI .308 pres at 62 ksi and .300 WSM at 65 ksi. I think we're still on the fence with this one. At least the chamber walls are thicker with the .223 chamber than the .308; that'll make the chamber rupture pressure higher.

    Suppressors Tactical Innovations TAC-16 Suppressor

    My searches aren't showing any discussions regarding Tactical Innovation's TAC-16 5.56 suppressor. Is anyone here running one? Comparing it to YHM's threaded Phantom for $100 more. Any thoughts regarding these two entry level suppressors?

    5.56 ammunition in a .223 bolt gun?

    Re: 5.56 ammunition in a .223 bolt gun? JL, to add to your post, the pressure problems ARE caused by chamber dimensions. SAAMI specs .223 Rem at 55 ksi and NATO specs the 5.56 at just over 62 ksi in their respective chambers. A traditional .223 Rem chamber has a throat length of about .045"...

    Re: Detachable magazine for Remington 700? Anyone seen a kit for using AR-15 mags? I've got a slew of those in various capacities and want to adapt to a .223 M700 SPS Tactical.
