Do not try to shoot the 5.56 in a gun that is marked as a .223 chamber.
I've always know/believed a 5.56 was good to go with 223, But when you look at the M&P 15's on S&W site almost everything thats good for 5.56 is marked "5.56 mm NATO/.223", but the Sports are only marked 5.56 mm NATO. Does anyone know why they omit 223 designation on the Sport but advertise 223 on all the other 5.56 chambered rifles?
