well mind you I am working alot of military once fired and all got a FL sizing. The primer pockets "tension" varied some but upon looking with a 10 power loupe at the ones I loaded above 21.5, a gold ring showed at the neck/shoulder point on the loads , that AND a circular mark running all the...

Steve4102, I took a look at all my Mil. once fired 223 brass, even the stuff I have'nt loaded and found your flow marks on some of the bases. FC,Winchester, RP,most LC and WCC look ok but Nato WCC and a few others show ejector pocket marks.. 3115 fps seems to be a common speed for a 16" barrel.

What other reliable indicators would show over pressure signs besides immediate or eventual failure?

Does anyone have a link to a 223/55 grain/barrel length chart ? If 16" can't safly push a bal. tip to 3240 then I'll take the 16" load and just componsate. You know having a short barrel leads to compensation anyhow:evil:Thanks.

BDS mentioned somthing about military crimps on the primers and thats my point.Getting a crimp remover for my 223, 308 and 50 solved any resistance issues, plus I put a slight bevel on the mouth of the primer pockets. I also use the Lee hand prime, lost the large priming pin for the old round...

Being an FCSA member is great but maybe I can get 223 load info here. I bought a Fulton Armory lower receiver and an M.&A. upper kit with a 16" barrel which shoots great. I then bought a Nikon M-223 with the BDC reticle which is set for a 55 grain Bal. tip @ 3240 FPS. So far the only powder to...
