A: Thanks for reaching out Michael! I'd honestly be surprised if you noticed any difference. Your rifle is chambered for 5.56 – that means it can also safely fire 223 , you're right, but keep in mind that your chamber's dimensions are specifically designed for 5.56. That means your rifle will offer *slightly* better accuracy with the 5.56 it's specifically designed to fire, but again, the performance difference is so small that it's hard to perceive. The 5.56 load's *slighly* higher muzzle velocity also provides greater recoil and a flatter trajectory, but at the risk of sounding like a broken record I'll say you'll be hard-pressed to notice a difference. In terms of quality the two cartridges are identical, and I honestly believe you'll be satisfied with either one. But the 5.56 is specifically designed for your chamber, and that hermetic plastic sealing is awesome if you plan to save some ammo for a rainy day. If it comes down to a coin toss, I'd recommend the 5.56!

A: Thanks for reaching out Jorge! I regret that we're unable to ship ammunition to recipients who are younger than 21. You can legally purchase ammunition, but our mail order business must adhere to an extremely cautious protocol in order to avoid litigation. I hope you understand how sensitive the nature of our business has become in the current political climate, and I also hope you'll check back in with us in a couple of years!
