If I go and have my AR15 rechambered to .223 Ackley Improved using a standard reamer, will I have any problems with feeding or extraction? Would be shooting 40-55gr. bullets. Using the same reamer that I used for my Rem 700 in .223, would the AR15 fireformed brass be okay to then use in my bolt gun. Would appreciate any advice or issues that would need to be addressed.
Thanks guys.

To quote a feller that used to post here it will feed like it had eyes.

Since you will be having Bbl's cut you can choose the rate of twist that best suits the projectile you want to use.

I am going to start a fight with this, but if you have the AR bbl, the 700 bbl, and perhaps your dies cut with the same reamer I would do it.
There would be some reloading exparentation to be done, could I neck size only? How much or how little crimp would I use.
