75. The differences can be very important to someone who is trying to shoot as accurately as possible

My experience in other calibers has consistently shown that ammunition that exhibits over-pressure symptoms is inherently inaccurate.

BTW, I can't ever recall seeing a box of ammunition that had both caliber designations - .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO or 5.56x45 - printed on it.

Different is different. It's clear from the first post in this silly diversion of a sub-thread that the intent was to badger and distract.
