Revisiting this thread, I have learned from The Gun Zone .223 vs 5.56 FAQ that there is indeed a difference in the Leade before the rifling starts.

Now, my question is how do you tell the Leade of a rifle. Do you chamber a cartridge and look for rifling marks on the bullet? Is there a special gauge? Can you look in and see?
