.556 from M&P 15 Sport
Can you use .556 in an M&P 15 .223?

Depends on the gun. You can get a lot of info by googling 5.56 vs .223. Be sure the decimal points are in the right places. :-)
If it's for a gun you already own, the manual will probably have that information also.

.556? No way.
5.56? No problem.

Check the barrel. It should be stamped with information such as the caliber and twist rate.
To my knowledge, all M&P15s are chambered for 5.56 NATO, but you can be such by checking the barrel stampings.

Europe gets guns marked .223 as 5.56 is a "military" designation. What? You thought the US cornered the market on "stupid rules." Joe

Only if the barrel is stamed 5.56, otherwise NO.
