Live by the rule that if your gun is chambered .223 you shoot only .223.  However, if your gun is chambered 5.56 you can shoot either 5.56 or .223.  Life by that rule and you will have no issues or warranty problems is something does go wrong.

That is the neat thing about the forum growing - we get to keep talking about things we enjoy ... or hate.  However, I have found that more and more often I can't find the thread I was yapping on yesterday ... or even this morning ... or maybe last post  ???
