Quote:1) SAAMI and manufacturers both say do not fire 5.56 out of a .223
Of course SAAMI and manufacturers say NOT to fire non SAAMI manufactured cartridges in SAAMI chambers. This is obvious and I would think anyone wouldn't expect them to say otherwise. A manufacturer being a member of SAAMI telling people to use non SAAMI manufactured ammo in a SAAMI chamber would be booted from the SAAMI..
Anyone that has access to a pair of calipers and a scale along with knowing the powder burn rate of most 5.56 ammo (WC846, WC844, H335) knows you can interchange them. Now if I was a member of SAAMI or a manufacturer belonging to SAAMI I couldn't/wouldn't tell you to interchange them.
What is sad is most of the .223/5.56 internet debates are filled with reloaders and it only takes about 30 min measuring, pulling and weighing cartridges and components to know the facts.
