“Close Enough” Isn’t Enough: What You Need to Know About 7.62mm Caliber*Peter Suciu* *Firearms, United States* It is one of the most popular ammo types not just in the United States, but throughout the world. Firearm calibers can be confusing – and when it comes to ammunition, "close enough" often doesn't cut it. That is especially true in the case of .223 Remington and 5.56x45mm NATO.

This is due to the chamber pressure difference, as a rifle chambered for .223 simply can't handle the added pressure of a 5.56 round. The same ... read more
