      Thoughts on reloading range brass, particularly 223/5.56

      NKBJ, I've been reloading 6.5 Creedmoor for several years and while trying to make match grade I have found that to be very true also. I've heard from a couple experienced reloaders they believe 5.56 brass has thicker sidewalls than 223 but I haven't done anything with those calibers yet.

      Whats your thoughts on swagging vs reaming? I've always been of the mindset its better to swage than ream because for one your not removing brass which never seems like the ideal option and second not sure how easy it is to consistently ream the same depth/diameter. I just have a lee turret...

      Thanks, that will make my life a little easier. Nothing like squinting for a couple hours.

      Thoughts on reloading range brass, particularly 223/5.56

      I came across about 1000 .223 and 5.56 brass mixed with various head stamps and some was 223 but most is 5.56. Is there any sense in hand sorting all the different head stamps to reload them in separate lots? I have an ar15 with a 5.56 chamber and was more interested in a medium pressure load...

      Hello friends, newbie from the north

      Yeah been to this gun and knife show few years ago. Always fun just seeing everything and talking to people even if you're not throwing out the money. I'm a row crop farmer so unfortunately it falls right on harvest season, so only lee way is from mother nature...
