Yes -- and no. The same is true for 5.56mm NATO and .223 Remington, some military loadings of 9mm Parabellum, .45 ACP, and a few other rounds. Military rounds are loaded to different specs than civilian ammo -- they're often hotter, propellant-wise, and bullet weights are usually different. Many civilian firearms can be damaged by military ammunition. Some civilian rounds won't cycle in a military weapon.
