Kinda leads me back to my original question "What group size differences could one expect to see from shooting .223 out of a 5.56 (lets say at 100 yards) as opposed to shooting .223 out of a "Wylde" chambered AR? I have done quite a bit of googling with no answer."
Would you pay a premium for a "more efficient car" that you had no idea if it got 20 or 0.5 extra miles per gallon? I feel the same with Wylde. Has any one done a apples to apples comparison?

There is no hard answer to your theoretical comparison. It could range anywhere from zero to 200 inches. The best long range rifle builders can probably make a 5.56 barrel capable of shooting gnats at 200 yards. And I can cut a wylde chamber in a bent piece of galvanized pipe, but you probably wouldn't hit a school bus at 50 yards.
When it comes to an AR-15, assuming your theoretical barrels are made from the same blanks, by the same person, on the same machine, with the same attention to detail and with equal quality chamber reamers, the difference in accuracy will be negligible.
@WooHoo .223 Wylde was designed to offer better accuracy with .223 and to safely shoot 5.56 as well.
