The 5.56x45mm NATO is the military version of the .223 Remington cartridge. The NATO round has more energy in it (higher pressures), and I believe it is shaped VERY slightly differently to where it requires a barely-longer chamber.
That is why it is important to purchase a rifle with a 5.56 or .223 "Wylde" chamber if you wish to have the largest selection of ammo. Rifles chambered for .223 Remington ONLY are not safe for constant use of the hotter 5.56 cartridge.
