Would someone help with reloading?
Are they factory loaded or did you load them? If they are factory, they are probably crimped and you'll need a pulling die to get those out. It's much easier to just shoot them and then reload. If they are reloads, and you didn't crimp, a run of the mill hammer style puller can be had for 20...- bmbrady77

pmc ammo
I'd be careful with PMC. I got the 300 round ammo box from Cabelas a few weeks back in 55gr FMJ. Was using it for foulers / sighters when working up a load for my VMaxs the other day and I had one of them blow the primer out of the casing. Don't know if it was improperly seated primer or just...- bmbrady77

Friendly reminder..
With the wet stuff moving out, the temps are plummeting but they will start rising again soon. Just wanted to remind everyone that when temperatures make drastic swings, and the humidity starts dropping, you have the perfect recipe for static electricity buildup. A lot of guys like me have their...- bmbrady77

Reloading Ammo
I just set up for reloading .223 about two weeks ago...1st time. It cost me around 500 to get setup. Cabelas has the Hornady Classic Lock-N-Load kit for 250. In addition, I got a Lee .223 die set, 100 CCI-400 small rifle primers, 100 Sierra Gamekings HPBT 55gr., a caliper, Lyman tumbler, media...- bmbrady77

Found my VMax load!!
Yesterday I ladder tested the Hornady Vmax (55gr .223) from 24.4gr. up to 26.65gr. I set up two targets, cleaned the barrel, sent two fouler/sighting rounds to the left target and sent the first ladder round to the right target at 100 yds. Cleaned the barrel again and repeated until all ten...- bmbrady77

7.62x39 galore but no 223 in sight?
I've noticed the same thing. Probably has to do with the AR ban rumor that's flying around. I just started reloading because it may be a while before we can restock, but you can get powder, primers, and bullets all day long.- bmbrady77

223 Question
Its a DiamondBack DB-15 Rifle with a 1:9 twist barrel, 5.56 / .223 chamber. I may be able to post some pics later but I cant right now. I didn't see any differences in the looks of the casings between the 2 loads, but the hard cycle kinda made me nervous. No primer pops, or stress marks on the...- bmbrady77

223 Question
I just started reloading for the AR-15 and shot my first rounds today. I built a depth gauge, and used it to measure the spacing from the bolt face to the rifling start. I set my depth on the press to give me the same ogive minus .002 but the overall was longer than my mag max, so I kept backing...- bmbrady77

Lets begin...
Ok, so I started my introduction saying that I wanted to crash course on the AR platform. I will begin with the questions now. 1. 5.56 vs .223. I keep hearing that they are "technically" the same and that all AR's with a 5.56 x 45 upper are designed to fire both. This goes against everything... -
