Can somebody tell me a little more about 223 Wylde?

**zachomega** · November 18th, 2017, 02:24 PM

I read the wiki entry on it. Is it supposed to be more accurate? Only with heavier loads?

Really wasn't that much information on it.

Anybody have any experience with it?

Only that it is supposed to be a compromise answer to using both 5.56 and .223 Rem in the same rifle, having to do with leade and/or throat depth.

The Wylde is a slightly different chamber than .223 Rem or 5.56. It's not really a compromise in any area from my experience. It has better accuracy and can actually have a wider chamber at the base of the cartridge than 5.56. You can see the dimension differences in the tech section over at www.ar15barrels.com

On a (barely) related subject:

Is it WILL-dee or WILD? I've heard both.

Wild.

In general it's a 223 chamber with a longer throat or a smaller/tighter NATO chamber how ever you wanna look at it .But in a nutshell that's what it is just another variation on how the throat is cut on it
