It's a myth that 5.56mm US military cases are thicker than .223 cases. It's also a myth that the 5.56mm develops more pressure than the .223.
See Army TM 43-0001-27, chapter 10.

You got that right, but you can`t argue with some of these people, I even called Lake City which is less than a 100 miles from me & they said there is no difference .223 & 5.56 NATO come of the same line, but O well believe as wish, but some of us know better.
