An ar 15 chambered in 5.56 nato will shoot more accurate with 5.56 brass reloaded ammo than it will with 223 remington brass reloaded ammo, true or false ?
I was talking with a guy at a lgs and he said his colt match target shoots more accurate with 5.56 than it does with 223 rem.

as for reloads does it matter if you use 223 or 5.56 brass as far as accuracy given everything else the same, same powder charge, same brand primer, same exact bullet etc.?

I have never sorted the brass to see, I might have to try that. I load mixed headstamp and shoot them the same way. I can shoot sub MOA with my stock Rock River AR so if there is a difference it can't be enough to notice.

Military brass tends to weigh more and therefore is thicker.

That might be true with larger calibers but from what I have seen not so with 223. There is a good thread with 223 case weights and volumes. I will try to find it and post it here.
