I have a home build AR and my PSA upper reads 5.56 mm on the barrel. I also have maybe 100 rounds of Tula steel case .223 . Is it safe to shoot in my rifle? M first AR WAY back in 95 was a DPMS and it had .223 and 5.56 on the lower.
I have always assumed that 5.56 was just the military metric nomenclature for the round just like .308 is 7.62x51mm. So what's the real deal?
