You guys that are reloading 223/5.56 do you prefer a roll crimp die or a factory crimp die?
So true.A tiny amount of shoulder collapse, too small to see with the naked eye, will lock up an AR-15 tighter then a gnats azz.
And it is far to easy to do with a normal crimping die that is case length critical.
Well according to Lee the dies I have are their collet die set #90707. It appears this only neck sizes and I read this should not be used in a autoloader. Lee has a pacesetter set(3 die set) #90502 which gives you a choice of two dies, and using the type of crimp you want. Any of you guys fimaliar or using this set and would this be prefered for reloading for an AR?
Who says?You should always crimp for an autoloader and this set will suffice.
Who says?
You have a bunch of guys on here with probably a combined total of well over 200 years of experiance reloading for AR-15's telling you it isn't necessary to crimp.
I'll say it again.
It isn't necessary to crimp if you have proper neck tension, and an AR-15 & magazines that feed correctly.
