Howa Mini 223 and 556

[AlaskaRed]

Has anyone shot 556 out of their 223 Remington chambered howa mini? I know usually it is ill advised but a lot of this has to do with chamber and throat dimensions that do vary from factory chamberings. Wondering if the howa mini 223 chamber gives enough room to accommodate plus being a bolt action can handle any potential pressure spikes.

I wouldn’t think twice about it in a bolt action in good condition.

I shoot 5.56 out of my 223 Tikka all the time. No problem.
