Well, Mardella Springs didn't mean anything to me as I thought the range was in Cambridge.

5.56mm is the military type of ammunition and is loaded to slightly higher pressures than .223 which is the civilian equivalent. Military specs mean the cases have been annealed, and the primers are crimped in place. These are great for reloading after preparation.
The chambers in 5.56 and .223 are also slightly different. You can shoot .223 in a 5.56 marked barrel, but should not fire 5.56 from a .223 marked barrel unless it is marked .223 Wylde.
Rule of thumb: Barrels marked 5.56 or .223 Wylde will shoot any available ammunition. Barrels marked .223, only shoot .223!

It's good for zeroing
Or for learning to shoot an AR
25yrds isn't much fun for an experienced rifle shooter. But if someone is new....it's a great way to learn sight picture and trigger control and all that good stuff. Can easily see your errors (since the target is close) and because it's a rifle it's pretty easy to feel like you are good at 25 yards so you enjoy the experience as a new shooter
I recently shot there to do a zero. Was great. Staff is friendly. And I learned how to do an effective 50 yard zero at only 10 yards by compensating for the distance the sight sits above the barrel. Worked great at the shorter indoor range and took half the time a true 50 yard zero takes (no walking back and forth)
The first time I went there I thought all these people waiting around were getting ready for a class or something, but no they were all waiting for their name to be called for an opened lane. It was a 2 hour wait to get a lane.
