The 5.56, as with the .357, has more "pressure" when shot ... so takes a barrel made to handle it. That's all.

No, it isn't. There are critical dimensional differences between the 5.56 and .223 chambers.
Bottom line - firing 5.56 in a .223 chamber means you are firing the wrong ammo. You might get away with it, or you might seriously damage your rife (and / or yourself).
