I know you guys have answered this over and over, but please forgive that I'm just a bit dense.
I have a bunch of new 5.56x45 brass I want to reload.
The 5.56 is said to have a longer throat than the .223 unless the gun is chambered to accept both. I assume that does not mean that the 5.56 neck and overall case length are longer, just that longer bullets may be used. Other than the brass being thicker and the capacity slightly less, is there anything special I need to do in loading them according to .223 AR15 specs and shooting them in a gun chambered for the .223?
From my searches here that is what I understand... I just need confirmation.
Thank you
