Description
 
Not only are these two rounds often interchangeable and able to be shot from the same gun, their history is entwined with each other. In fact, the 5.56 NATO round didn’t come about until have the .223 was produced. In 1957, Fairchild Industries set about to create and new lightweight combat rifle. They were commissioned, along with several other groups of engineers, by the US Continental Army Command (CONARC) with a set of specific criteria that the gun and round had to meet.

These parameters included:
• .22 Caliber
• Able to exceed supersonic speeds at 500 yards
• Rifle itself could only weigh 6 lbs.
• Able to penetrate both a steel helmet and .135” steel plate at 500 yards.
• Magazine capacity of at least 20 rounds.

These specifications came as a result of the 7.62 NATO round being deemed has having too much power to be carried by infantry. In May of 1957, Eugene Stoner shot the first AR 15 design to CONARC. Through further developments, the AR-15 was transformed into the M16 rifle that is still the standard rifle for most of the American Armed forces.

Each box contains 250+ once fired brass shell casings with a nickel finish. May contain some 5.56 mixed with 223. This is unprocessed brass sourced from commercial shooting ranges. It has not been cleaned or resized and still contains the spent primer. This brass contains different manufacturer's headstamps. It is recommended that all brass be inspected prior to being reloaded and fired.

Reviewer: Bear Arms from Las Vegas Nevada  
Order 500, 223 nickle plated brass one bag had 257 the other had 255 all were in great shape minor blemishes nothing a full sizing die won't fix, primer pockets need the crimp reamed but that's easy to do, great brass highly recommended. Thank you Capital Cartridge. I'm going to place another order now

5 of 5 Great brass, ignore the other reviews October 1, 2020
Reviewer: James O from Flat Rock, MI  
Yes, most of the 250 if not all had crimped primers.  For some reason, this is now the standard for commercial brass as well.  If you reload .223, you need to swage the primer pockets.  I consider this a positive because I know it hasn’t been reloaded countless times already and so I’m willing to put in the work.
Other than that, the brass is great.  Nickel finish is strong, they have only been fired once and I only had two pieces that I rejected, but because I’m picky, they probably could still be used.
You get what you pay for.  You’re paying for top tier brass and this company gives it to you.
Learn to reload .223, guys.

3 of 5 Primer Pockets must be expanded May 21, 2020
Reviewer: Kevin from USA  
Primer pockets are tight so I wonder if they were crimped at one point.   on about 75% of the cartridges I had to open up the primer mouth.  25% went in with ease but the other 75% took me a LONG time to fix.  I suspect next time I reload them it will be a snap, but geez these SUCK.
