unless you have 223 only bolt action rifles or something like that around the house that you should avoid 5.56 use in it makes no difference to the 5.56 which you buy it will feed them both the same.
I prefer soft points but you pay more
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

.223 is standardized by SAAMI (Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers' Institute). 5.56 is a military round and is not standardized. Manufacturer's of 5.56 MIGHT load their ammo hot - but I don't think any do. More powder costs more money. If you look at the velocity, .223 and 5.56 seem to be the same. I just buy .223 even though my rifle is rated for both.

I prefer soft points but you pay more X2 I'm sure I'd NOT want to rely on the cheapest ammo I could find for self-defense, but its ok for practicing IMO.
