...time) and a long gun to keep in the tent (just in case).
I found info online about the sidearm being OK.
However I am NOT sure about the longgun *INSIDE* the tent.
This is what I have found out along with the various sources.
Travel from IN to MI in car.
with sidearm CC is OK as I have IN...
.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...
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.
...14 and 14.5 for testing accuracy.
From the looks of it it seems I need to go back and load more at each of those to test now for accuracy. **SIGH** All I want to do it just shoot the Appleseed targets but now I'm seeing that I need to figure out what loads will work best on this rifle...
...issue.
I think I'll try 14.6, 14.7 and 14.8 reloads on the 25 and 100 to see if that helps or not before I go and raise the front sight. Like I said at the 14gr and 14.5gr the shoots are all high by about the same amount. The .30 carbine is know to have these issues of shooting high. **sigh**
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...
