I did a search and did not find anything. I have been reloading handguns for a long time, and I'm starting to collect enough brass to start reloading for my AR. I only intend to reload facory rounds. So far, I've only used Federal or Remington 55gr FMJ. None of it is mil spec. I may start buying the American Eagle AE223 by Federal because it's on sale alot more, and usually those sales put it at $3.00 less for a box of 20 then the other two. I probably won't reload any surplus rounds that I buy, so swaging to get rid of the military crimp won't be necessary.
But I have some questions about reloading rifle rounds in general.
1. Can I use other brand primers in that brass, such as Winchesters in my brass or Federal primers in the Remngton brass, etc?
2. When reloading for rifle brass, I know I have to lube the case before I resize and deprime. Do I need to clean the lube off before the the neck sizing die, and do I need to lube the case neck before the neck sizing die?
3. And then what steps should be performed first, case trimming to length or the inside and outside neck turning?
