Hi there,
I have a Remington 7615, can 5.56mm ammunition also be fired in this rifle as well as .223. I’ve heard so many differing opinions saying you can and you can’t. They say 5.56mm ammunition is loaded to a significantly higher pressure than .223 Remington ammunition Correspondingly, 5.56mm chambers are designed and built to withstand the increased pressure, while .223 Remington chambers generally are not. Additionally, .223 Remington chambers have a shorter leade (the distance between the mouth of the cartridge and the point where the rifling engages the bullet) with a steeper angle than 5.56mm chambers. But Is this the case with the 7615 or can this firearm shoot both? I’d be really keen to hear someone who owns one as well.
I hope you can give me a solid YES or NO and an explanation please..... that would be awesome.
Thank you for taking the time to read my post.
Cheers - Stu ??
