They have steel inserts in the bullet to so shoot steel targets/gongs that you don't want pitted/holed. If a small magnet sticks to the bullet they have the steel inside the bullet. Probably have 62 grain FMJ bullets.
I found that a case neck expand mandril makes for a LOT straighter cases (better concentricity) than the sizing ball in a FLS dies. I've have Lee/RCBS/and Redding FLS dies in 223 so I can compare results in my dial indicator. Ball is "ok" but it you want match grade the expand mandril...
Primer perforation
Hi Guys,
Thanks so much for all your replies. By the way P-32 thanks so much for the heads up on the primers; I'm hoping my 4K of purchased SR primers don't perforate at my load - DOH...I am going to load up 100 or so rounds to test that and see if it seems like a problem...
Thanks Mountain. Luckily the new LC09 brass are new/never primed, so there is no crimp. I do have 1K PPU brass that all had the military crimp and got a reamer, but it really gave mixed results... But at least for these 5K I am out of the woods. That said, I'm starting to think that maybe buying...
Hi all,
I have a lot of questions, so let me thank you in advance for taking time to read this and share any thoughts, even humorous or tongue in cheek. ;)
I am newer to reloading and have a couple of AR's that I want to explore precision shooting with. I found Natchez had a sale on new LC09...

Natchez has 'em. I bought 5K today for my AR15 varmint supply.
