Hi:

  Anyone know if you can get a 223 WSSM in a NEF or a H&R rifle?

Thanks,

Not from the factory , and i am afraid that the action will not hold up well with a mag re-chamber .

sorry for the bad news .

I doubt any 223 on the market will hurt the newer receivers.  I might be wrong here but I don't believe the 223 WSSM will put an excessive amount of pressure on the receiver.  It's high pressure but there is not much bullet to push back against in a 223.

It's got a pretty good size case head to deal with and at the same pressure as a .308W, but the rebated rim may be an issue with Handi ejector/extractors.
