I have a Bushmaster AR15 DCM, I have some 5.56 ammo, from what I have been reading on here and other boards, you should not run 5.56 ammo in a gun chambered for .223 as the 5.56 is a hotter round.
My DCM, according to the Bushmaster website, lists that the caliber is .223 or 5.56. Do they mean the two are interchangeable in this barrel and that I can safely shoot both. It seems that its obvious, but, I don't want to assume that I can and ruin a fine shooting barrel.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
