The Wylde chamber supposedly gives you the best of both worlds, ability to use whatever ammo with "theoretical" increased accuracy.



I'm following. safety first, but some folks "chicken little" over the slightest thing.

I have the M4 so I can use either round...but I see some .223 chambered AR-15s that are decent priced, but I would like to just use the ammo I already have (which is mostly 5.56)

PLUS someone listed the green tip stuff on here and I missed it...it was gone in like an hour!
