.223ai or wylde?

[HuntHarder]

Trying not to clog up the group buy thread. I need a .223 barrel for blinking factory ammo. My goal was to not have to reload and just put a bunch of rounds downrange in a bolt action. Any pro's to getting a
223ai vs a Wylde or standard .223?

I think you don’t plan to reload for it 223ai would be useless, wylde or standard 223 would be likley best choice for bulk shooting factory ammo.

I know I was planning on a Wylde chamber for my next 223 barrel so I can throw any cheap 5.56 ammo at it if I choose.

Wylde. As stated above, going 223 AI is pointless if you don’t reload.

Any negatives to the Ai if only shooting factory? Basically trying to determine if I need to add a new barrel to the group buy, or just jump in on the AI version.

My understanding is people generally see zero difference in shooting .223 in AI'd chambers vs factory ammo. Only difference is you're ejecting fire-formed AI brass.
