For those of you who shoot the .223 round, not the 5.56 NATO round. I am making the assumption (that can be foolish) that the serious shooters on this board understand that there is a significant different between .223 ammo and the 5.56 NATO round and the barrels they should be used in. Yes, on the outside (Externally) they look and their specs are exactly the same but that's where it ends.

My questions for .223 users are which is your favorite ammo, Brand, Bullet Weight, etc. and what is the rate of twist on the rifle you use.
