5.56 Green Tip Deal

[Robinhood]

Can I shoot the 5.56x45 NATO ammunition in my 223 Rem? 7.62 X 51 in 308 WIN?

Savage Arms does not recommend the use of any military surplus ammunition. As stated in the owner's manuals, you should only shoot the caliber that is stamped on the side of your barrel.

That goes for cartridge too.

I've shot M885 in my Rem700 223 that has what I consider short freebore. No signs of over pressure but this ammo is far from accurate. 2moa at best.

It is the older .223 rifles with 1 in 14 and 1 in 12 twist rates that have the shorter throats and have pressure spikes when firing M885 military ammo loaded to 57,800 psi.
