The 411 on Remington 223 ammo

Cartridges for .223 Remington ammo were designed in 1964 to fit the new M16 service rifle that had been released two years earlier and was put into use by the U.S. Military during combat operations during the Vietnam War. Though the military uses 5.56×45mm NATO military cartridges, the 223 Remington cartridge became popular for civilian use because the availability of brass made it cheap to mass produce and it fit the chambering of most commercially available varmint rifles as well as the semiautomatic version of the M16, the AR-15.
