It's easy... 223 Wylde is a CHAMBERING not a round. It is a perfect blend between 5.56 and .223 so it shoots both perfectly.
The Ruger Scout does that, too
Yep
Indeed
I love my 223 wylde 18" upper. I have 2 ranges, @ 600 900 yards in my vicinity. 5.56 77gr. closer is better, but you can still reach out not as accurate but still touch.
Pro Tip: 223 Wylde is the ONLY chambering you should consider for a .223/5.56 rifle. I’ve shot 3Gun for almost 13 years and my 223 Wylde barrel has been THE most accurate at short and long distances using off-the-shelf ElCheapo 223/5.56 ammo.
It’ll make Wolf Steel hit at 450. And that’s a task.
Mine is a Nordic Components 16” stainless with mid-gas. Shoots as well today as it did on Day One.
They are great chambers
But, but, but it's not a tacticool duty barrel for my official duty rifle in case I have to go to war and kill a lot of enemies.
I thought you were not supposed to shoot steel case ammo in a stainless steel barrel?
@@chrismanning1171 there is nothing wrong with with shooting steel case ammo in a SS barrel. The blend of metals that’s to make the jackets typically are not as soft and can increase wear leading to a shorter life. But in moderation should have zero issues
@5stargunsandgear OK thanks. I use my SPR for group practice so SC ammo should be okay.
My question is this.....yes I am a noob to the AR platform. Is the stainless steel barrel better than the nitride barrel ?
Honestly I like stainless better one better no not necessarily. How a barrel is manufactured and the condition of the tooling when barrel is made as far a chamber and riding plays a much larger play in quality.
@5 Star Guns & Gear thank you sir, I am an old man coming from decades of using my mini-14's. This is very helpful as I prefer the stainless here in humid Florida.
A 223 Wylde with a 1:8 twist is a great set-up. I've been very pleased with it.
I considered a Wylde, my selection came down to what was in stock at the time (I got 5.56). Shoots my 70 grain hand loads .5 moa. With appropriate Ammunition I don't think the 5.56 chamber will be measurably less accurate than the Wylde. However Wylde shoots off the shelf .223 far better than a 5.56 chamber for sure.
Nothing wrong with that
I just waited until my vendor of choice had the 20" .223 Wylde I wanted back in stock and got lucky. I haven't taken it out yet, but I've heard they are nice. That being said, if it doesn't shoot straight, it's not because of the barrel 😆
Wanted to go with Wylde barrels for the ones I built, but every time I've tried, I kept running into either "On backorder", or there was a killer deal on 1:7 5.56 ready-to-pin-on-and-shoot uppers, so went that route. One of these days, I'll get around to doing one. Just haven't managed it yet. Got a lower laying around that I could finish building out, and have an upper that just needs a barrel/gas tube/block/handguard and BCG. Now to get the spare cash together to get the barrel - put together a true "Frankengun" :)
Its a great chamber
Great video! So according to you this works better with 223 and 556 better then a multi caliber? Would a barrel swap work just as well as a whole upper in this instance if you wanted to go to a 223 Wylde? Curious, what muzzle device are you using?
Sure you could do a barrel swap. But if your referring to you lower marked multi caliber it has nothing to do with .223 or 5.56 being interchangeable that designation simply refers to you can change the upper to accommodate other calibers.
@@5stargunsandgear that I get, more curious if the upper itself has anything to do with what your chambering. Example, if I have to swap my short barrels to a long because of the brace nonsense, couldn't I just purchase a 223 Wylde barrel? Never heard anyone break down the benefits of a 223 Wylde over a 556 before. Also curious about your muzzle device? Please and ty
I just bought a complete upper in .223 Wylde, 24" barrel, 1:7 twist. Thought about trying it out with my existing carbine lower but after some consideration I'm gonna build a lower with a rifle buffer, tube & spring. I've been shooting 69gr bthp with the carbine and it was accurate enough. I can't wait to shoot this one!
Probably will be a tack driver
Great video man! Keep up the great work. Ive noticed Wyldes have a bit of a longer barrel as well, don’t know if that’ll help with the pressure containment as well.
Not sure about pressures but certainly lends to improved accuracy
Thank you so much for sharing. I never looked into it because I mostly shoot pistols so really was not worried about it but good info to know.
Always good to know
Thanks for clearing this up for me
Happy to help
Someone has probably pointed this out already but .223 Wyled is strictly a rifle chamber designation meaning that it shoots .223 and 5.56x45 both more dependably and more accurately than a barrel chambered in just .223 or 5.56x45. 223 wylde is not a cartridge caliber.
That’s what the video is entirely about education of those who do not know that. If you watch the video you will be able to see that. Thank you
got one awhile back with a lpvo and is very very accurate.
Very nice
big fan of my .223 Wylde
Great chamber for sure
It's funny seeing all the people commenting without watching the vid lol. The title tricked me too but i watch a vid before i comment so i don't make a fool of myself. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I have an 18in barrel 223 wylde Ar-15. I love it. 👍
lol 😂 right thanks for watching
As I said in another one of your videos I went with 223 wylde because of a mistake I made when I bought a 223 AR pistol. I was new to ARs and 223/556 and was mixing the ammo in a firearm that was only for 223 and did not know why my pistol was breaking or malfunctioning. I decided that go with the best of both cartridges.
Awesome many people don’t know there is a difference
@@5stargunsandgear the funny and sad part is I did not either until I wanted a new AR and I did research to make sure I did not repeat the same mistake. Thank you for putting this out there to help new AR owners.
Thank you
I built a wild year's ago.. Love it
Awesome
Originally the chamber size was to accommodate Tracer Rounds that was used in the military.
No
223wylde 20in stainless heavy barrel 1:8 twist. Tack driver.
They are
Mine are all 5.56 H barrels I'm going to get a wylde upper and try it out.
My see a result in increased accuracy as well
@@5stargunsandgear So I made a typo that I quickly corrected, then I see your response which looks like you are making fun of the typo mistake? Is that how you respond to people who support your channel? I will give you the chance to respond.
Lord I was born a ramblin man
There is ONLY ONE REASON for a Wylde Chamber, and only from a maker of match grade barrels, it’s CMP and NRA Service Rifle Competition at the 500/600/1000 yard line where 80+ grain hand loaded VLD bullets are important to winning. The 5.56 chamber has too much free bore thus not enough bullet ojive contact with cartridge case neck when bullet is seated to kiss lands and the .223 chamber has too little free bore for VLD bullets to be seated at or slightly into rifling lands when bullet is fully purchased by the case neck. That’s absolutely it. Buy an off the shelf barrel with Wylde Chamber and while it will shoot .223 or 5.56 don’t expect match grade results because typical barrels do not have the other qualities that inspire accuracy. BTW, another chamber that is boss for Service Rifle Competition is the Compass Lake Engineering chamber or CLE chamber for short. I have had my best results in high power rifle competition with that chamber, producing many wins at the 600 yard line. At any rate, this is my perspective as a US Distinguished Rifleman.
Finally
After almost 20 years
I can now find ammunition for my rifle
🤦🏻
The first ar15 I built is 223 Wylde.
Works great.
LOL
The WYLDE is a chamber that can fire 5.56 NATO and .223 it is not an ammunition type
As noted in the video
I reload
Illinoise, lol.
welcome
Illinois does suck. I escaped from hellinois 16 years ago thank god.
I was born there in 1971, but I escaped with my parents in 1981 (God bless them and thank God). Things were always bad there, but they became exponentially worse since then, to say the least. You might as well live in communist China.@@kylejohnson1308
Yeah you never will find 223 wild because 223 wild does not exist the wild is the chambering you can shoot 556 and 223 out of the 22 Wild
Yep the wole point of the video
👍👍👍
Thanks for stopping by Dane
you just get 223 or 5.56
Did you watch the video it’s educational
With the .223 wylde
Woooowww it’s a chamber, not a round. Iv bin looking for wylde ammo for a month
Hard find right :)
🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for watching
😳😳😳😳😳🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thank You
How to make something SIMPLE, into trig! Jesus, just the facts please…
Right
