Can somebody enlighten me as to what a .223 Wylde chamber is.  I want to build a varmint upper but is this chamber going to give me the same accuracy as a .223 chamber or should I go with somebody else that has a .223 chamber?  Accuracy is most important to me.  Thanks

JP chambers their competition guns in 223 Wylde.  You can shoot M193/M855 in it no problem, and it will be more accurate than a 5.56 chamber.

I want the most  accuracy I can get so is the wylde chamber looser than .223?  How does it compare dimensionally?  How is the accuracy compared to .223?  Is it a better chamber than plain ol .223?  Thanks for the help.

If you're getting to the level of accuracy where you're concerned about chamber demensions you should also be into reloading.  Then it doesn't matter so much what type of ammo you use.  You use once fired in your rifle brass and set it back .003" using a die that matches your chamber.  This way the brass is formed to your chamber and set back enough to allow reliable function.  You can also fart around with seating depth of the bullets into the brass, or more appropriately stated, into or off the lands.

I chamber  most of my match barrels in 223 Wylde chamber   it alows you to shoot the heaver bullets,
for a varmint upper  i would put that chamber in it  so if your shooting very long range  you can use the heavy bullets

I reload so that is why I was wondering.  Just wanted to make sure it wasn't a sloppy chamber that I would get piss poor accuracy out of but you guys answered my question.  Thanks
