    The annoying Wylde Chamber explained:

    Just read an interesting post on AccurateShooter.com's forums about the Wylde Chamber, and it sounds credible.

    i see more bs on the wylde chamber on this forum.
    it is a MATCH reamer to allow ACCURACY with 69.75 grain bullets for 200/300 yards in cmp/dcm ar15/m16 clones and STILL ALLOW AN 80GR SMK BE SINGLE LOADED. it is not the best all round chamber..it is designed for one thing and one thing only 600 yard 80gr single load with moa or less accuracy for 200.300 yd stages at cmp.dcm matches.
    it is neither a 334 nor a 5.56..it is a wylde...call bill and ask him.

    Just a typo obviously, but I didn't want to alter the actual post if I was quoting the guy.

    Now I have to shoot 80s in my annoying ass Wylde Chamber to see what happens.

    Correct.

    Bill Wylde put his chamber and leade dimensions between .223 Match and 5.56mm. He was able to squeeze excellent precision from 62-grain Canadian 5.56mm military ammunition.

    Frank White of Compass Lake has a rapid-fire reamer well-recognized for maximum precision with 69s and 77s. For 80-grain Sierras the seating depth is around 2.450 with a new barrel.

    The USAMU uses Colt's .mil 5.56mm reamer to long-load the 80-grain Sierra Match King at 2.500 inches -- this allows for the long-taper bullet to get a running start at the rifling leade without a chamber pressure spike.

    The Wylde chamber is tighter than the 5.56 chamber with shorter leade angle. Try seating an 80 SMK to 2.455 when new.

    This is cool info. The Wylde chamber feature is thrown around all the time, but I never knew the true idea behind it. We have a box of 80 that stays out on the bench in the desert.

    Interesting. I knew it was in-between the .223 and 5.56 chamber dimensions, and that it is supposed to be more accurate, but I did not know it was designed for longer 80 gr projectiles.

    I’m not understanding why it is annoying?

    Seems well thought out to me as a better middle ground between 223 and 556 NATO.

    I have several barrels and have no issues with any of them.

    I've never got my White Oak to get sub moa. But in fairness it's an old complete upper built by those baffoons at ADCO. Their horrific pinning probably destroyed the barrel's accuracy.

    Many wylde chamber barrels (including mine) don't play well with 5.56 pressure ammo. Popped primers, bulges, and swipes much more common.
