Had a FReeper here tell me that he didn’t know anything about a ‘leade’ and .223 vs 5.56mm cautions because he’d never seen anything about it. I sent him a treatise on this very subject as a lesson. Never heard a word back from him.

For safety’s sake, you should use 7.62*39. :-)

...although some are stamped 5.56 Rem on the receiver – are manufactured with .223 chambers.

Lower receivers don't have a clue what's barreled on top of them. Look for barrel stampings.

Sounds like a chamber cast is the only way to know for sure.
