I actually like S&B in .45acp brass for reloading. Primers are a bit snug, but not bad.

I am close to "pulling the trigger" on buying 1000 S&B .223 and am now wondering now. I have reloaded RP, FC, LC, Hornady and others with zero issues. I too don't care about military crimps as I run them all through my Dillon Super Swage 600 first.

I have two 5 gallon buckets of .223/5.56 cartridge cases with over 75% being RP or Remington. Sort your cases by head stamp and separate and load the cases you have the most of.

Left bucket are Remington followed in 2nd place with Federal. "DO NOT" mix head stamps or brands.

I would not say "Do not mix head stamps", but if you have a 5 gallon pail of RP and a 5 gallon pail of FC, I would indeed load them separate especially if loading near max.
