I put the following codes on the primers. I keep the spent brass sorted in coffee cans or zip locks bags or small nut trays.

Thanks for the info Mike but that is for a FEDERAL park and in my case it would be a STATE OF MI park.

I am thinking of going to MI in the near future specifically the Waren Dunes State Park for camping. I have a valid License To Care Handgun (LTCH) from Indiana (Resident of Indiana). I would like to take a sidearm (CC all the time) and a long gun to keep in the tent (just in case). I found info...

.223 reloaders have you used either of these 2 vendors for your .223 bullets? http://www.xtremebullets.com/default.asp http://bulletheads.com/ Both have 1000 223 55 grain FMJ boat tail with cannelure. Diameter .224 for about the same price of $93. Note sure if one is better than the other...

oh did not know that but why would you want to de-prime and not resize at the same time before cleaning??? Seems like adding an extra step for no reason.

@rcmodel I used the Lee Precision 223 3-Die Deluxe Set and used the Full Length Sizing Die to de-prime and re-size the cases so that is both steps you talk about right? Not aware that one can de-prime without doing a full resize with a die? @witchhunter oh you do bring up a good point for...

BACKGROUND: This is my first time reloading for .223 REM and want to make sure I am got this part correct. I plan on just plinking with this ammo on the 25 yard and 100 yard. --- My Lyman reloading manual says: Trim 2 Length (T2L) = 1.750 MAX T2L = 1.760 The ANSI (pdf file) gives the...

Thanks guys! Good to know well looks like I have some depriming to do this weekend. :D

So if I'm reading the LEE page correctly if I buy brand new factory ammo and fire it in say a mini-14 those spent cases I can de-prime using the collect neck sizer IF AND ONLY IF I plan on reloading them again and shooting them from the same mini-14 again, right? Otherwise if I plan on...

Thanks all for both the powder and weight recommendations. Now where to find 55gr FMJ bullets. :( I think I'll try AA2230 and AA2200 as those are ball poweder and I know the uniflow loves that type of powder. Does Winchester not making anything similar?

I would like to start reloading for .223 REM but not sure which powder to start with? I've only reloaded for .45 (via win 231) and .30 carbine (via win 296) right now. i use an rcbs uniflow powder dropper for both of those powders without any issue and was told to it will work great so long as...

I would like to use by RCBS Uniflow Powder Hopper and IIRC it likes ball type powder. What powders should I stay away from that won't meter well in it? I have only used WIN 231 (for .45) and WIN 296 (for .30 carbine) in terms of powder and both work well in the hopper.

i have been reloading for 2 years now mainly .30 carbine and some .45 acp. i would like to start reloading for .308 win but not sure what powder to get and where can i find bullets in bulk as well. No lead just fmj please as i'm not comfortable loading lead yet for anything. granted no sure...

There is a youtube video showing how to reload .30 carbine and the guy is using little gun powder iirc at around 15gr and he says he has gotten real good results. Me i stull have win powder to go thru.

i don't cast nor do i use lead bullets but for reloading i wear - safety glasses - ear protection - latex gloves

yyyeeeeaaaaahhhhhh right! reload does not equal fun for rifle casings but does equal less money/ LOL

@jrdavidson I initially loaded 14gr, 14.1, 14.2, 14.3, 14.4 and 14.5 to test functionally (5 rds each) and they all worked. Those were my 1st reloads for the rifle (ever). Decided that 14.1-14.4 I could not feel the difference in recoil so I went with 14 and 14.5 for testing accuracy...

@Grumulkin was shooting at the 25 yard because I just shoot the appleseed targets designed for the 25 yard range. I have shoot the rifle at the 100 yard range with commercial ammo and have gotten the same results of it shooting too high. The results on the 25 yard minics those on the 100 yard...

Testing the following in my .30 carbine (auto-ordnance paratrooper replica) WIN 296 @ 14gr with 110gr FMJ vs WIN 296 @ 14.5gr with 110gr FMJ On the 25 yard range when shooting from bench rest: At 14gr the rounds are 3" too high and the groupings of 3 shoots are about 1" apart. At...

Is H4895 a ball type powder? I have 2 benches for the reason you mentioned above. One bench just has my uniflow and my scale. The 2nd has my press and other tools. This way the only 'movement' on my 1st bench is me and the uniflow. When I fill up the hopper and set my number since Ihave the...
