well the 5.56 runs at 62,3xxpsi CIP so any case with that diameter "should" be the same. as we are hashing out in another thread there's more to it when talking about .223/5.56 and pressures.
6.8 spc (the parent case of the .224V) is rated to 58,700 CIP. those who followed the birth of this cartridge may remember the 6.8 spc having the same ammo/pressure issues as 5.56 in .223 chambers when the 6.8 SPC II was introduced which was nothing more than throating changes so the same differences were there. this was fixed early on so it's almost a pastime and there was someone loaning a reamer out to fix early chambers.
Sammi pressures for both are 55k psi for reference.
