Gimme a break. .223 is imperial measurement while 5.56 is metric measurement for the same cartridge.
Good grief

Do research on the case dimensions. The geometry is different.

Wrong. Slightly higher chamber pressure for 5.56 vs .223 ammo. Results in about 150-200 fps difference. Not a huge difference but some and specifications behind that nomenclature.

The case thickness and bullet seating dimensions are explained in the article. If you don’t reload then it may not make sense.
