Barrel for light 3 gun rifle build?

.223 = .223

5.56 = .223 and 5.56

Wylde = .223 and 5.56

Some say that the Wylde chamber has a higher potential for accuracy than 5.56, but I've had sub MOA barrels with both. I suspect the developement for Wylde probably had more to do with Brady Bill legislation than with performance, but that is just a guess. If you find a quality barrel to the specs you desire, you shouldn't hessitate to run either chamber.

That would be incorrect. The Wylde chamber is tighter and with all other things being equal it should be more accurate. Nothing to do with gun legislation. Barrel makers simply wanted a middle ground between tight .223 chambers and loose 5.56 chambers.
