People always say don't shoot a 556 from a 223 gun. So is it okay to use this 556 cleaning kit for my 223 rifle? Will there be any damage to my rifle? I know it's one thing shooting the rounds and another just cleaning but I don't know maybe the bristles are tougher because the 556 is a more powerful round. I hope this makes sense.

Michael, This cleaning kit will work fine to clean a rifle chambered in .223.

Hello honey, I understand what you mean but this is just a cleaning kit. No damage will incur because of the use of it. You must really love your guns like me. Haha.

James G. · Answer

Michael, I understand the concern but, you will have absolutely no issues with a cleaning kit marked either 5.56 or .223. Cheers to you Sir!
