I've got a bunch of range brass in .223 and .556, the majority of which is Lake City. I'm wondering if the only difference between them is headstamp. I was getting conflicting answers in my research.

This is my primary concern. I don't plan on loading them super hot, so I'm not too worried about safety. What I am worried about is having two different POI due to differences between the .223 and .556 brass. If I can get away without sorting them then it'd be great.Are you worried about running mixed batches using the same loading data
Is the softer head of .223 known to have issues with an AR extractor?just worried about the .223 headstamped stuff holding-up to your AR ejector?
Frankly, I'm mostly looking for an offhand blasting load for my AR, so 2" or less would be acceptable. Even if the brass is different it may not make enough difference to make a difference. I'm more curious than anything.

I love it until I have to trim a pile of it.
Not that I've noticed.Is the softer head of .223 known to have issues with an AR extractor?
