This segment from Gun Talk S2, Episode 9, Part 3, features Jeff Hoffman from Black Hills Ammunition and Mike from Colt discussing the critical differences between 5.56 NATO and .223 Remington cartridges and their respective rifle chambers. They explain that while 5.56 NATO chambered rifles can generally fire both, .223 Remington chambers should only use .223 ammunition due to potential safety issues arising from differences in chamber throat length and its impact on pressure. The discussion also touches on the '223 Wild' chambering, designed for accuracy and capable of safely firing both, and demonstrates long-range shooting with a Colt rifle at 600 yards, highlighting wind's impact and the advantages of semi-automatic follow-up shots.
