I had a tight twist 224 krieger that would consistently pop heavy match bullets in a 223WSSM. Changed it out for an even tighter 5R and the same bullets work fine. So the theory is that the sharp square rifling was damaging the jackets more and causing them to disintegrate in flight.

I doubt you'd have any issues with a 223.
