[QUOTE="RobGMN, post: 8888075, member: 683408"] Maybe you got a better deal on a bunch of 5.56 cases (US military seconds or surplus). Maybe as a reloader you prefer the thicker brass of the 5.56, since you'll be using them over and over. Maybe you own a 5.56 AND a .223 rifle, and want to just have one big can of brass, and load them differently. Maybe you want to load them identically and shoot the same ammo from both guns. Maybe you got a free batch of 5.56 cases from a friend who no longer shoots. The "why" is irrelevant. The FACT is that you can load 5.56 brass for lower pressure and shoot it all day long in a .223 rifle. No matter how much that fact upsets you, it will not change. Yes. And you completely move or ignore the goalpost where I specifically say a cartridge loaded to give 3,000FPS of velocity from each round, [SIZE=5]So let me ask this question: When I stated in the very beginning that it was a .223 that was used in the attempt, WHY did you go off on this whole tangent about it being 5.56? What did you THINK it mattered, other than to be another failed attempt to prove me wrong about something?[/SIZE] And why are you refusing to answer on the differences between the same round fired from a 5.56 cartridge at 3,000FPS and one fired from a .223 cartridge at 3,000FPS? Which one will do more damage at 150 yards? It's physics PLUS math, so you might be totally lost at this point. [/QUOTE]
