Alaskapopo Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 .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. Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supreme135 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 What velocitys are you able to achieve with the 16in barrel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supreme135 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 I second the JP 18in light contour. I ran the JP 18 mid contour for a long time. The light contour was just as accurate and much faster to transition. You can't be JP stuff, it's more money but it's worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
