BudsGunShop.com - .223 vs 5.56
-
-
I recently purchased from Bud's a Mossberg MMR 223 16 30R rifle. Invoice says .223, but stamped on the gun, and on the clip says 5.56. I have read about the different pressures between the 2 kinds of ammunition, and I want to know is this rifle actually safe firing the 5.56, and if there might be some brand of the 5.56 to avoid.
