  • Опубликовано: 15 фев 2024
  • On this episode of Ultimate Barrier Testing, we will be comparing the performance of the 223 Rem to the 5.56 (5.56x45 or 5.56 NATO) on 4 different targets. Each target is worth 25 points (winner takes all), for a grand total of 100 points. Whichever cartridge ends up with the highest score will be the winner. Testing was setup at 50 yards.

      It is EXTREMELY effective at stopping all kinds of serious stuff. During the war in Iraq, we would fill "Hesco Bastions" with sand off the ground and put them around our FOB (Forward Operating Base) to create a barrier. It's just a metal cage with this fabric-type material that will hold the sand inside. They can stop mortar rounds, artillery, up to 30mm weapons, massive trucks, high explosives, etc. and it's just sand. Pretty impressive stuff. Saved me a couple times.

      I was about to mention the same, although I would take the lengths further down, at least for 5.56. Usually 5.56 barrels are 14"-16". Then the higher pressure/bigger powder load on 5.56 cannot compensate for the lot longer .223 barrel used for the data on the boxes.

    It matters because the chamber that’s cut inside the barrel of a 223 vs 556 are different. As far as the portion of the chamber that encases the cartridge case, they’re the same; it’s the chamber cut past the case mouth that’s different. A chamber in a 5.56 NATO barrel has a longer throat, which is the segment of the chamber between the case mouth and where the rifling lands taper from nothing to the bore diameter of 0.219-inch/5.56 millimeters. This extra space allows the barrel to withstand the higher pressures of the 5.56 NATO. It’s that simple. What’s not as simple is the interchangeability.It is perfectly safe to shoot 223 Remington ammunition in a 5.56 NATO rifle, but in some cases, precision can be less than stellar. On the other hand, it’s considered unsafe to shoot 5.56 NATO ammunition in a 223 Remington rifle. You see, the 5.56 NATO cartridge will produce about 62,000 psi in a 5.56 NATO chamber, and that’s OK. But in the 223 Remington chamber with the tighter throat, pressures can exceed 70,000. That’s not OK... Certified Gunsmith here and if you dont believe me do the research you will see for yourself.

    Most reloading manuals have their test rifles at a 22-24” bolt gun for .223. That’s why it has the higher velocity. 5.56 is USUALLY tested out of 20” M16. I’m sure there are some manuals out there that might test out of a bolt gun. I haven’t read every manual to be 100% sure.

    I've always UNDER-appreciated the finer points of ballistics, even though I've been shooting/hunting from the age of '4', and am also a USMC Vet with two tours under my cover. For myself, accuracy has always been the most important thing, and then choosing the suitable caliber vs whatever target/game/enemy I expected to face. Seeing videos like *THIS* one, that clearly shows the nuances and why they matter, is one of the best things about YT/the Internet, IMHO!

    Please don't take this the wrong way, I do like the channel and I often learn new things from it. The main problem I see here, is that he fired both rounds from the same rifle, most likely chambered in 5.56. Although the dimensional differences between the two rounds are small, they are different. The main difference is the shape of the cartridge, mostly the length and angles in the bend of the throat. This is why some people will say that a .223 is more accurate when fired from a .223 chamber, or from a Wiley chamber, why arguably is the best of both worlds when it's desired to use both of these rounds interchangeably in the same rifle without barrel changes.

    The difference in velocity on the boxes is because of how they are measured. For 5.56 the test is done with a 20” barrel, but for .223 a 24” barrel is used. When run through a 16” barrel, it’s typical to see lower velocities from .223 than 5.56.

    Difference is powder load and the chamber they’re fired in more than anything. Barrel length of .223Rem is usually 24” barrel as well. Where as 5.56 is usually 20”.
    Jackets for M193 are supposed to also be different as well as the mean average and max spread of velocity.

    Using Pressure Treated Pine (Southern Yellow Pine) for these tests is iffy at best ! It's a species that's noted for extreme variations in hardness throughout the grain. Sometimes center punching the stuff can be a pain in the ass. If the point falls between the heartwood and sapwood the center punch can easily, and often will, drift off into the softwood and miss the point you want. Drilling the stuff exhibits the same properties.

    I have found, many occasions, where I'm actually getting higher velocities out of 223 ammo then out of some 556 ammo, depending on the lot or the manufacturer or other influences that cause changes in the way in which this particular round, the 55 grain Full Metal Jacket operates. Drawing the conclusion, where you pick up a 556 round and a 223 round and test only two rounds against each other, you would have to test dozens of different 223 marked ammo and 556 ammo. I'd like to point out to you, that the primary difference between 223 and 556 in their pressure allotments, happens to be because the military takes the pressure reading from a different point on the cartridge case then civilian testing procedures do. There is frequently if you thousand pounds of difference, if you go to the military testing you get over 10 or 12 thousand pounds difference are within each other's differentials from round to round.
    That said, now you have to look at what mechanism they tested the rounds in. What length of test Barrel was it does it have the same resistance to the bullet traveling through it?
    The difference from one barrel to the very next Barrel in manufacturer can sometimes be a couple of hundred feet per second.
    The only thing that you are consistent with in this test is you happen to have two randomly selected 556 / 223 rounds, and you're testing them at least in the same firearm.
    Considering the 55 grain Full Metal Jacket was specifically designed to produce Wicked wounding capability within 200 yards of a 20 inch barrel rifle with a 1 to 12, to 1 to 10 twist. And at that it is absolutely superb. I find this test virtually worthless tactical barrier fragment horribly. And are very rarely still able to produce any substantial wounding capability, to the extent that they can actually Force somebody to stop acting in a recalcitrant manner

Also since I own all 3 I can tell you each has its use but 10mm is king out of the three if you can handle the recoil. Unless of course you wanna get into the merits of 5.7 vs soft armor discussion. But even then that is a very specific type of 5.7 you have to buy and it won't be cheap.

The reality is that in real life at realistic ranges, there is not much difference between the two. The advantage of 223 is that it has less muzzle blast and flash and it is cheaper to practice with.

    The rounds are only compatible in 5.56 chambers. A 223 chamber is cut differently and may or may not safely accept a 5.56 round. Either way, you risk a pressure spike if the projectile is contacting the lands. This is due to the 223 chamber typically having less free bore. Other factors may be at play, such as case wall thickness, bullet seating depth, or powder charge.
