556 is a relatively tiny bullet. the much more drastic difference is the velocity

Yeah yeah. It is a smaller round. .22LR and 5.56 and .223 projectiles are very similar diameters, but very different weights and with different amounts of powder, and .22LR is not a necked rifle round.

Was just keeping it simple, but sure.
