No But the Caliber is the same but theres more powder in the 223
"The .223 Remington is a sporting cartridge with almost the same external dimensions as the 5.56x45mm NATO military cartridge."In short, 223 IS the caliber- .223 inches
Dimensionally similar, but they are not exactly the same. A firearm with a 5.56x45 chamber can accommodate the .223 Remington cartridge, but a firearm with a .223 Remington chamber cannot accommodate the 5.56x45 cartridge.
No. Cases are slightly different. You can fire 223 in 5.56, but, you should not fire 5.56 in a .223
.223 and 5.56 x 45 can SOMETIMES be used in the same barrel. Mostly in AR style weapons.
5.56 and 223 cal. are the same cartridge...........
Yes, they do shoot the same projectile although the 22-250 takes a heavier charge of the same powder over the .223.

No. They have matching dimensions, but differ in other areas, such as neck angles. .223 ammunition can be safely fired in a 5.56x45mm chamber; 5.56x45 ammunition is not recommended to be used in a .223 Remington chamber.
Yes. The same brush you use to clean a .223 can be used for .22 LR, .22-250, .222, and other cartridges in that same calibre range.
The factors of 223 are: 1, 223 (223 is a prime number).
