  3. New to reloading, questions about 556/223

    Yea but the sheer joy being chased around my garage with a rolling pin and beaten senseless, is priceless

  4. New to reloading, questions about 556/223

    I was under that impression as well

  5. New to reloading, questions about 556/223

    Not sure why you'd get some hate for that statement, seems pretty accurate to me. Frankly it's why I've been trying to pay such close attention to all the steps along the way. I want it done right and safely, I don't much care how long it takes tbh

  6. New to reloading, questions about 556/223

    Aight, I'll go liberate some plastic container from the kitchen and try it that way next time. I was told to basically on hit the bottom halves of the cases. Is that an accurate statement? An the cases that stick....really stick....I have to lean on the lever rather hard to get em back out...

  8. New to reloading, questions about 556/223

    I'll order one now, thanks!

  9. New to reloading, questions about 556/223

    I'd say about 75% of the brass I have had been shot from my rifle. I've been picking up range brass when I go to sight in my rifle or practice. As for lube I'm using the Hornady spray can lube, not exactly consistent though

  10. New to reloading, questions about 556/223

    I do not currently have one no

  11. New to reloading, questions about 556/223

    I haven't gotten that far yet, I had planned to trim them to spec yes but I'm not sure if I'm crimping them or not. Dunno if the dye set I got from Hornady has a crimper in it or not to be honest. My plan was to get my resizer setup good, do all that and check to make sure the brass is all good...

  12. New to reloading, questions about 556/223

    The research I had done stated that same thing as well. To ensure they feed back into the rifle and I don't overwork the brass too much with the resizer and cause stress on the cases. I dunno if everyone does that, but I'd rather ere on the side of caution that just wing it and hope I don't blow...

  13. New to reloading, questions about 556/223

    That might explain why some brass slides in an out of my resizer without much hassle and why others darn near get stuck coming back out. Or....im doing something wrong lol

  14. New to reloading, questions about 556/223

    The measurement here matches exactly with what I get from measuring a factory made 556 LAP round. Though in my book I don't have a number to compare it to

  15. New to reloading, questions about 556/223

    That explains why I was unable to find a 5.56 section in my book, it was all a bit confusing if I'm being honest. Appreciate the info, was concerned there was some minor differences in the cases or something and I might have been messing something up without knowing it

  16. New to reloading, questions about 556/223

    That number wasn't the overall case length, I'll snap a picture here before work so you get an idea of what I was measuring. I appreciate all the sound help, I'm certainly not looking for any recipes simply because each person's gear and setup is different and what works for you may not...

  17. New to reloading, questions about 556/223

    I have Lyman one, 49th edition I've been using it thus far for what powder an primer to use. But I've not gotten that far naturally. I used a comparator to get the above numbers. It doesn't tell me how much tolerance it has with that though.

  18. New to reloading, questions about 556/223

    Good evening everyone, hope y'all are doing well and thanks for popping in to help. As the title suggests I'm just starting my learning process into reloading and I'm having a difficult time of trying to figure out the differences between the two cartridges. As far as I can tell, 556 is loaded...
