Re: What if- 55.6 in .223?

My problem was that when I was shooting the Win 5.56 ammo, I didn't recognize that there was a problem that the Mini wasn't cycling like it normally was and kept shooting until it broke, then had to go to fleabay to get another. Since then, been trying NOT to do it again! :evil:

Sixgun, it was a re-barrel! 17.5" bull barrel with 1/9 twist with a Choat night firing flash suppressor/front sight. Likely the company that did it took the 223 cal on the receiver to heart and chambered it JUST for that cartridge! Too late to do anything about it now, it was some 35 years ago,...

For the sake of a what if scenario, say the supply of 223 is vastly reduced and all that is available is 55.6. What is the best safest way of modifying 55.6 for firing in a rifle chambered in .223?
