i have always believed that 223 and 5.56 are the same thing. there are other forums and people that i know that will darn near come to blows with you if you tell them they are the same. some have sold cases of ammo that was labeled 5.56 because they own a gun labeled .223 remington.
how can i prove it to these people, what is out there (on the internet, since they believe everything they read on wikipedia) to shut them up once and for all?
one forum moderator/ operator posted that it was true (in a very pissed off manner) because he ran the same load in military brass and commercial and the military was 3 fps faster. he proclaimed that the pressures were higher in 5.56 brass than 223 because of the 3 fps difference! wow, i want his chronograph, not only is it super accurate, it also measures pressure!
