.223 Wylde vs 5.56 Nato

[lysander]

.223 wylde has even sluttier dimensions than 5.56 nato.

Except in one important dimension - the freebore diameter, .2242" vs .2265"

I have a few Wylde chambered barrels. I think I got my first one around 2007.
I was told it was for better accuracy.
By a very reputable shooter.

I shoot a lot of TULA, wolf classic, wolf poly performance, American Eagle, Gold, PMC, Xtac, etc.

So I don’t see any better accuracy than with a 5.56 barrel.

Because the important part about better accuracy was that it allowed for types of ammo that are more accurate.
