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?
Hi pocket....

I'll make it easy peasy even for you. It's the pressures that neither SAAMI nor CIP anticipate or see that makes the difference for a shooter. Granted loads for each are all over the place in terms of pressure, but the rifle throating/lead length and angle can make a huge difference between what is safe in a 223 Rem labeled rifle and one labeled 5.56.

Have fun........... I bet you're the life of most parties.
