My guess is you'll have to go up the food chain bit and talk to someone who is familiar with the 223/5.56 issue. Not likely to be the first person that answers the phone.Ojaileveraction wrote:I'll be surprised by a definitive answer.ditto1958 wrote:Just a guess, but I would be surprised if it’s not a standard 5.56 chamber.

With a 9 twist I wouldn't mind the ability to load 70 grain bullets for the 500 meter line like I do now with the 55 grainers and 12 twist.North Country Gal wrote:Speaking for myself, as a 223 shooter, I want a standard 223 chamber for the sake of accuracy. I have no interest in shooting 5.56 in my 223s or shooting the heavy weight 223/5.56 bullets.
Actually, when you call Henry you talk to one of the technical advisors. If one of them doesn't answer, the person who does pick up the phone transfers you directly to one of them. (They used to have their names and email addresses listed on the website, but they've changed that now. Thomas Kotz is the customer service supervisor. I've also spoken with Kevin when I have called). All of them are very good. I'm pretty sure a phone call will easily produce the answer about the chamber.North Country Gal wrote:My guess is you'll have to go up the food chain bit and talk to someone who is familiar with the 223/5.56 issue.

I shoot and reload .223 rem now. With the longer free bore of the 5.56 NATO there is another learning curve.ditto1958 wrote:Thank you. I think .223 will be the one for me. Maybe later the .45-70.
