Whats So Wild About the 223 WYLDE, I Cannot Not Find 223 Wylde AMMO and Should You Own A 223 Wylde? 

It's easy... 223 Wylde is a CHAMBERING not a round. It is a perfect blend between 5.56 and .223 so it shoots both perfectly.

Pro Tip: 223 Wylde is the ONLY chambering you should consider for a .223/5.56 rifle. I’ve shot 3Gun for almost 13 years and my 223 Wylde barrel has been THE most accurate at short and long distances using off-the-shelf ElCheapo 223/5.56 ammo. It’ll make Wolf Steel hit at 450. And that’s a task. Mine is a Nordic Components 16” stainless with mid-gas. Shoots as well today as it did on Day One.

I love my 223 wylde 18" upper. I have 2 ranges, @ 600 900 yards in my vicinity. 5.56 77gr. closer is better, but you can still reach out not as accurate but still touch.

I considered a Wylde, my selection came down to what was in stock at the time (I got 5.56). Shoots my 70 grain hand loads .5 moa. With appropriate Ammunition I don't think the 5.56 chamber will be measurably less accurate than the Wylde. However Wylde shoots off the shelf .223 far better than a 5.56 chamber for sure.

Someone has probably pointed this out already but .223 Wyled is strictly a rifle chamber designation meaning that it shoots .223 and 5.56x45 both more dependably and more accurately than a barrel chambered in just .223 or 5.56x45. 223 wylde is not a cartridge caliber.

Wanted to go with Wylde barrels for the ones I built, but every time I've tried, I kept running into either "On backorder", or there was a killer deal on 1:7 5.56 ready-to-pin-on-and-shoot uppers, so went that route. One of these days, I'll get around to doing one. Just haven't managed it yet. Got a lower laying around that I could finish building out, and have an upper that just needs a barrel/gas tube/block/handguard and BCG. Now to get the spare cash together to get the barrel - put together a true "Frankengun" :)

When I built my three currently-owned ARs, I bought Wylde barrels, 'cause momma didn't raise no fool . . .

My question is this.....yes I am a noob to the AR platform. Is the stainless steel barrel better than the nitride barrel ?

I just bought a complete upper in .223 Wylde, 24" barrel, 1:7 twist. Thought about trying it out with my existing carbine lower but after some consideration I'm gonna build a lower with a rifle buffer, tube & spring. I've been shooting 69gr bthp with the carbine and it was accurate enough. I can't wait to shoot this one!

got one awhile back with a lpvo and is very very accurate.

There is ONLY ONE REASON for a Wylde Chamber, and only from a maker of match grade barrels, it’s CMP and NRA Service Rifle Competition at the 500/600/1000 yard line where 80+ grain hand loaded VLD bullets are important to winning. The 5.56 chamber has too much free bore thus not enough bullet ojive contact with cartridge case neck when bullet is seated to kiss lands and the .223 chamber has too little free bore for VLD bullets to be seated at or slightly into rifling lands when bullet is fully purchased by the case neck. That’s absolutely it. Buy an off the shelf barrel with Wylde Chamber and while it will shoot .223 or 5.56 don’t expect match grade results because typical barrels do not have the other qualities that inspire accuracy. BTW, another chamber that is boss for Service Rifle Competition is the Compass Lake Engineering chamber or CLE chamber for short. I have had my best results in high power rifle competition with that chamber, producing many wins at the 600 yard line. At any rate, this is my perspective as a US Distinguished Rifleman.

223wylde 20in stainless heavy barrel 1:8 twist. Tack driver.

As I said in another one of your videos I went with 223 wylde because of a mistake I made when I bought a 223 AR pistol. I was new to ARs and 223/556 and was mixing the ammo in a firearm that was only for 223 and did not know why my pistol was breaking or malfunctioning. I decided that go with the best of both cartridges.

big fan of my .223 Wylde

Thank you so much for sharing. I never looked into it because I mostly shoot pistols so really was not worried about it but good info to know.

It's funny seeing all the people commenting without watching the vid lol. The title tricked me too but i watch a vid before i comment so i don't make a fool of myself. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I have an 18in barrel 223 wylde Ar-15. I love it. 👍

The WYLDE is a chamber that can fire 5.56 NATO and .223 it is not an ammunition type

Originally the chamber size was to accommodate Tracer Rounds that was used in the military.

I built a wild year's ago.. Love it

Great video man! Keep up the great work. Ive noticed Wyldes have a bit of a longer barrel as well, don’t know if that’ll help with the pressure containment as well.

Thanks for clearing this up for me

Mine are all 5.56 H barrels I'm going to get a wylde upper and try it out.

Great video! So according to you this works better with 223 and 556 better then a multi caliber? Would a barrel swap work just as well as a whole upper in this instance if you wanted to go to a 223 Wylde? Curious, what muzzle device are you using?

Finally After almost 20 years I can now find ammunition for my rifle 🤦🏻 The first ar15 I built is 223 Wylde. Works great.

Lord I was born a ramblin man

Illinoise, lol.

I reload

you just get 223 or 5.56

Yeah you never will find 223 wild because 223 wild does not exist the wild is the chambering you can shoot 556 and 223 out of the 22 Wild

👍👍👍

Woooowww it’s a chamber, not a round. Iv bin looking for wylde ammo for a month

How to make something SIMPLE, into trig! Jesus, just the facts please…
