What about shooting a resized/reloaded 5.56 in a .223 barrel? Wouldn't the brass be now sized for the 223 barrel after using a 223 resizing die?
Yep, for all pratical pruposes you have a 223 case after resizing, if you know of a place that carries 5.56 dies, please let me know.

I find that the 5.56 has about 0.10 grains less space than the commercial 223 case, but as all things there are exceptions to the rule.

OK, different thought process than reloading LC brass for my M1A, and no need to reduce powder charge.
Not really unless you are at or above max load data.
