Hello there fellas! I'm almost outta new brass so it's on to phase 2 of the reloading process and I've already got a problem. I've been loading .223 and 5.56 only. The .223 crimps like a champ so I'm not too worried about the neck tension but the 5.56 brass simply will not crimp at all without very slight shoulder deformation. When both brasses were brand new neck tension was great but after resizing it's very easy to push the cartridge against my bench and push the bullet into the case :-/. It's a mag fed semi auto so........Any thoughts? Maybe the 5.56 will crimp now that it's been fired and is a little thinner? Please excuse any dumb questions, I'm still new. 2,000 rounds without a single problem! So far so good! Thanks in advance.
