.223 WYLDE CHAMBERED AR UPPER?
I picked this up at a g.s., what is the difference between the .223w/5.56mm and the standard .223? I understand that all 3 can be fired in it.

Most AR'S are chambered for 5.56 ammo and will fire 223 too.
Most 223 bolt guns don't take 5.56 ammo.
Wylde came up with his chamber to fire boh.0 -
The 5.56 NATO chamber can shoot everything of both types of ammunition, in 556. NATO, and 223 Remington, where as the 223 Remington can only handle most loads up to only 55, or 60 grains, because of the shorter throat, and twist of the rifling. The Wylde chamber, is more like the NATO, with a longer throat, but a slightly longer forcing cone, and seems to be the most accurate of the 3, and can fire anything the NATO chamber can. 0 -
MIKE WISKEY,
Here is a short description:
"A few AR-15 manufacturers incorporate the use of a hybrid chamber specification known as the Wylde chamber. Designed by and named after Bill Wylde of Greenup, IL, this chambering was designed to accurately shoot the military ball ammo of the day while still feeding reliably. Coincidentally, it shoots the longer 80 gr bullets commonly used in the sport of Highpower Rifle Competition very well and is one of the preferred chambers for that use. While the Wylde chamber allows for optimal seating depth of 80 grain bullets over .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO, it is capable of accepting both ammunition types. The Wylde chamber is used by many manufacturers who sell "National Match" configuration AR-15 rifle, barrels, and upper receivers. The type of chamber, manufacturer, and rifling twist in inches is typically found stamped into the barrel in front of the front sight assembly."
