what he said, if you google this you will find a variance of opinion..some wil say yer okey probably and some wil say doom gloom boom you will die.
truth is somewhere in between
5.56mm is not .223rem
the bullet weight will be likely heavier in 5.56mm if its milsurp and the COL maybe longer so more likely to have a heavier bullet jamming into the lands with a higher charge than the gun is proofed for, depends how your chamber is cut and throated etc etc...it might work..it might be fine
but
deffo not recommended
e.g a Steyr Aug maybe proofed .223rem but have a 5.56mm chamber cut so be fine with milsurp. same for AR variants.
easy answer is dont do it...cheap ammo vs the chance of damagin your gun or worse
