223 wylde?
How come rock river list their ar15's as .223 wylde, and not .223 rem, or 5.56? Is there any difference? I know about the difference in the .223 rem and the 5.56 just wonder what the wylde is about.

Here is a comparison:

HOLLIGER ON .223/5.56 CHAMBERS
Here are just a few of the chamber reamers that I have prints for. There are hundreds of .223/5.56 chamber dimensions and I always get a kick out of people arguing over whether a rifle has a .223 or a 5.56 chamber. Just because it has a .223 chamber, does not mean it's the same as another rifle with a .223 chamber. Both reamers may say .223 on them, but they may be very much different. Also, everyone just knows the .223 is smaller than the 5.56, well the 5.56 target is smaller in about every dimension than the .223 Wylde.

5.56
Target .0566 1 deg,
13 min 2.465 This was designed by a C. Hildebrandt at Savage. I believe it is used in the savage .223 rifles. I do not have this reamer, but it should work well for HP.
.223
JGS#514 .025 3 deg,
10 min 2.435 I believe this is used by Krieger and Mike Bykowski. I use it for slow twist varmint uppers but I think it is a little short, and too steep of a lead for HP.
.223
Wylde .0619 1 deg,
15 min 2.475 Designed by Bill Wylde. Shoots everything good, and has slightly generous body dimensions for reliability. Eats anything you put in it.
.223
Holliger .106 1 deg,
15 min 2.530 Designed for the 90 JLK. The longer throat allows a little more velocity.
5.56
CLE .025 1 deg,
30 min 2.450 Of course we all know Frank's rifles shoot just fine!
5.56
Bushmaster .0250 1 deg,
30 min 2.450-
2.475 Info from Bushmaster (thanks!). These are one of the best out-of-the box barrels, and handle up to 80 gr bullets no problemo.0 -
Looks like the Wylde would make sense for full auto and for survival rifles. 0
