 .223 Remington History

The .223 Remington, Was designed by SAAMI and 223 Rem by CIP, is a rimless ammunition developed in 1957 by Remington Arms and Fairchild Industries considered one of the most popular common-use cartridges and is currently used by a wide range of semi-automatic and manual-action rifles as well as handguns.

Standard .223 ammunition features a .224-inch diameter boat-tailed bullet in a rimless bottleneck case that measures 1.76 inches. The overall size of the cartridge reaches 2.26 inches, While Standard factory loads of .223 Remington ammo range in weight from 35 to 85 grain (gr).

This popular cartridge uses a small rifle primer and has a maximum pressure of 55,000 pounds per square inch (psi). The rifling twist for traditional bolt action .233 rifles is 1:12 inch, while military-style AR-15 semi-automatics are found with a twist between 1:7 and 1:10 inch. This tighter rifling stabilizes the projectile and improves its accuracy.

Is There a Difference Between 223 Remington And 5.56 Nato

The other difference is that 5.56 NATO has a .125″ more extended throat. This allows for an additional grain of powder to be loaded in the cartridge and gives the 5.56 NATO the expected performance.
