Wayne Dengler Knife Enthusiast Registered: 08/01/17 Posts: 1639 Loc: Earth	Pappy, I bet the '94 will do just fine with that ammo. Let us know how the range session works. I just brought out my Ruger New Model BearCat that I purchased about ten years ago. The latest issue of GUNS Magazine has a nice article about the BearCats and it rekindled my interest. Also made mention about smokejumpers using them. Now,how did I know that?? Wayne _________________________ Top Dog

rodbrown Knife Enthusiast Registered: 12/11/05 Posts: 2144 Loc: Ontario, Canada	Originally Posted By: thevalueman probably not the spot for this...BUT...I doubt the question will last long....so, when putting the new gun up, I noticed that I have 2 labeled .223, and 2 labeled 5.56....all "LE"...outside the obvious "furniture" differences...why the difference in caliber indications on the label....all barrels are stamped 5.56 NATO with a 7 twist.... thanks :-)Rocky Rocky 5.56 are a bit longer case. I think it is .100 or so. 5.56 is loaded a bit hotter, due to the longer case ie) a bit more powder. Shooting a .223 in a 5.56 shouldn’t be a problem, but the other way around, you might have pressure problems. At least you will have higher pressure shooting a 5.56 in a .223 _________________________ Rod Brown RKS 3846 RKCC CM-123 Whether you think you can or can not, you are right.

thevalueman Knife Enthusiast Registered: 02/04/08 Posts: 2840 Loc: Georgia	Rod, thanks...I got that....I'm interested why the labels on the box are different, while the guns inside the box, with the exception of "furniture" appear to be the same, and all marked 5.56 NATO...once again, while some of the labels on the box read .223 :-)Rocky _________________________ Rocky Whitaker RKCC#25

rodbrown Knife Enthusiast Registered: 12/11/05 Posts: 2144 Loc: Ontario, Canada	Rocky I understand now. Would it be worth a phone call to the manufacturer? Rod _________________________ Rod Brown RKS 3846 RKCC CM-123 Whether you think you can or can not, you are right.

Captain Chris Stanaback Knife Enthusiast Registered: 09/14/05 Posts: 12873 Loc: Central Florida	Rocky, 5.56 interprets to "any of the ammo" so no need to stamp 223 Rem. I would venture to say all chambers are 5.56 compatable. Perhaps labeled boxes with 5.56mm have military hardware??? Just a guess, Capt.

At least you will have higher pressure shooting a 5.56 in a .223 The 223 have a shorter leade than a 5.56 which is another reason NOT to shoot the higher pressure 5.56 in a 223 chamber! _________________________ Mike Marshall NRA Life Member RKS# 5598 RKCC# CM-068
