Found an anomaly perusing Ruger’s website after seeing a Gen II 223 for sale.
I own a Ranch 5.56. From the Ruger website Ranchs aside from
a Talo Industries special edition are chambered in 5.56 whereas all other models of RAs are chambered in 223. This applies to Gens I and II. I understand there are pressure differences in the 2 chamberings to accomodate for use in gas
operated actions. What advantage is there to the 5.56 chambering aside from wider availability of ammo. Would think Ruger would just offer 223 Wylde and cover both or is the 223 that much more accurate in a bolt gun?
