I was talking to my dad and I couldn't dind a max spec for the inner diameter of the chamber where the throat is in a .223.
I looked all over and could only find the specs of the casing but I we were wondering what the clearance tolerance is. Thanks in advance.

Did you look at the SAAMI specs?

Yes, SAAMI is the official source.
The freebore diameter of the .223 Rem chamber shows .224+.002
However, this is generally tightest chamber in the family, with others like 556 NATO allowing up to .227+.002
