If a person buys an American made rifle with "only for .223 Remington" marked on the chamber, and uses large amounts of CIP .223 Remington, how can you say the rifle is NOT safe for 5.56x45?

Ill make it easy peasy....

a guy buys a savage bolt action in .223 Remington. purchases and uses oh say 300 rounds of CIP .223 Remington made in Italy. Can you tell me the rifle is not safe with 5.56x45 ammo?
I will repeat this one more time and drop it, you do as you want. I will follow the ammo and rifle makers warnings and instructions. I do have and use both chamberings in a few rifles, some are .223 R and some are 5.56.
Nuff said about this, again you do as you wish. Bill K
