I purchased 6k pulled M855 (5.56 green tip with the steel core) from a company. they have the three pull marks and I did some measurements and they are out of round... I am less concerned about accuracy (they were really cheap and good for plinking) but for safety I figure I need to re-size all of them.
I am mostly a rifle guy and have not ever gotten into casting so resizing is not a strong suit. All the info I have seen is on cast not jacketed. The only info I found on Jacked resizing related to .50 cal (neat btw).
So guide me... what do I need to be looking at? I'd like to find the cheapest way to deal with this batch cause I will not likely purchase from that company again (not a product or company issue, just hard to get a hold of).
I liked the 50 cal setup I saw that used a special die and a piece that replaced the shell holder in a single stage and it was fairly cheap. I did not see anything like that for a 5.56....
