what is the difference between shooting 556 vs 223? I have heard 556 has higher pressure, but does that mean faster round or something?
Nothing that really matters, but you'll get people telling you all kinds of crap.

They have differant pressures because the army uses a differant system in messuring pressure.

For the AR, you wont tell the differance unless, like I said, you can put together some pretty accrute reload that will out shoot the M193s.

I have a bolt gun I carried as a LE Counter Sniper rifle before I retired. On duty I carried M-193s in it, again no differant except I could reload some better stuff, but the department sniveled when I got caught with reloads.

Like I mentioned before, I had access to lots of M193 ball, shot tons of it in both rifles with zero problems.
