223 Wylde is a chamber spec not a caliber spec. It is intended to shoot both 5.56 and .223 Rem accurately. You size your brass to 5.56x45 or .223 Rem specs, nothing Wylde about it.
Anyone shootin this? If so how do you like it? I was told you need a small base sizing die for it?
Thinking of putting a barrel on my steve 200..Thanks

I have one. It's a 25in 7tw heavy varmint from Bison. It shoots better than me. I put it on an Axis and am currently loading 80gr amax. Wylde will give you a small amount of freebore. What you should do is Google 223 reamers, there's a chart that will show the differences.
Wylde chambers were designed for NRA Xcourse High Power on AR-15's. It handles bullets from 68-80 grains mag length and longer with adequate accuracy for High Power. It is suitable for bolt guns but not optimal for any one type of bullet. My Savage 11 actioned F-TR rifle has a Xcaliber 1:7 twist 5R heavy barrel with a Wylde chamber and shoots 80 gr match bullets jumping 0.015" very accurately. I use the rifle for Mid Range F-TR matches only.
