Has anybody tested this in the real world?

Yes I have and yes you can. It is exactly the same stuff for all intents and purposes. Only thing is 5.56 brass, like all military brass, is usually a little thicker so if you are re loading it start low and work up, usually holds less powder and has less room so builds pressure a little faster.
