Just started reloading first batch of .223 on my new Dillon 550....
Primers went in purfect!!:
past up on the powder - waiting on the scale..
seating die set up perfect....
even played with the crimp die (dillon) just for gettin use to the press...
Does anyone use the Hornaday OAL gauge with modified case to determine free bore?
It seems that whenever I see recipes for 223 the OAL is a constant 2.260...(max for mags)
Does anyone consider shortening the OAL for 'jump' consideration?
Also, I picked up CCI 400 primers -
From my search, Fed 205M and rem 7.5 were the most popular. Any reason not to use the CCI 400?
Im using Varget with Sierra 69 g MK in front.
This for target shooting at 100 yds
Barrel is a Krieger 1:9 SS, - DPMS upper Lo-Pro, RRA lower
TIA
