Hot Shot,

Give it a shot, the action can handle the extra pressure no problem. The worst thing I've ever read from someone shooting 5.56 out of a 223 bolt rifle is that the action locked up on a Savage.

I've shot a bunch of 5.56 through a Ruger M77MkII so I would expect that the RAR can handle it just fine.
