This video clarifies the differences between 5.56 NATO and .223 Remington ammunition, addressing the common question of their interchangeability. Representatives from SAAMI (Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers' Institute) explain the key distinctions in pressure, chamber dimensions, and safety implications. The discussion covers whether it's safe to shoot .223 in a 5.56 chamber and vice-versa, the meaning of dual markings on barrels, and the importance of matching ammunition headstamps to firearm specifications. The video also briefly touches on interchangeability of other calibers like .308 Winchester and 7.62 NATO, and the SAAMI process for standardizing new cartridge designs.
