[QUOTE="Phil3, post: 801038, member: 17575"] Regarding the 5.56 NATO case being used by Blackhills redbox ammo labeled as 223 Remington, I found this. [URL]http://www.savageshooters.com/showthread.php?3715-Black-Hills-223-Remington-New-Ammunition-(Red-Box[/URL]) Availability and low cost are fine for choosing the NATO case, as long as it shoots well...and safely, but I am not so sure it does. As stated, flattened primers, ejector plunger smearing, and imprint of the extractor seam from the bolt head. On top of that, I noticed the heavier recoil compared to my own reloads. Is it not reasonable to expect 223 Remington ammo sold to the public to shoot properly in ANY 223 Remington chambered rifle? Phil [/QUOTE]
