Guns are proof tested for twice the pressure their pressure limit rating I believe. I really have no use for shooting 5.56 in a fine 223. It just seems pointless, and crude to do this in a fine well tuned 223 rifle

Chambers and barrels are not engineered nor tested to have a factor of safety of 2 (max pressure/allowable pressure)**. That would use too much material, cost too much, and just be impractical to produce.
**most firearms, I am not going to say all as I am not sure about all firearms
