I should have mentioned that I'm loading 55gr FMJ-BT

I have a Bushmaster XM15 that I want to work up some loads for. I'm using Richard Lee's Modern Reloading, second edition. A couple of things I'm keeping in mind when choosing primers and powder are: Slam firing Cartridge powder volume (the fuller the better) These are the primers and powder...

Thanks Jonas for the tip I will try the locktite

Yes I do have calipers. Also see my other post on Lee Trimmer

Yes, unfortunately this one doesn't show trim length.

The instructions say to trim between 1.73 and 1.76. I thought 1.75 was my target/ Thoughts? Got the Zip Trim but haven't used it yet.

How far is the gauge supposed to screw into the cutter. Right now its cutting at 1.75 but it's not in all the way.

Here's what I got

Well Dang it. I ordered and received the 223 Hornady Cartridge Gauge. Shame on me for not checking closer, but this gauge does not check for trim length.

What is motor mica and where do you get it? How is it applied?

As a new loader to 223, I've read several posts on the subject and thought I get your opinions. A couple methods I read were: Using Imperial Sizing Die Wax on a Q-Tip Mixing graphite powder and lead shot for a dipping media What do you think of these? What are you guys doing?

It was recommended that after I clean OFB that I sort it. Well, I've done that on half of a 500 lot and here's what I got. WMA 50 pieces FC 50 pieces Winchester 50 pieces Frontier 5.56 40 pieces Hornady < 10 LC < 10...

Does anyone have the Lyman Case Length Headspace Gauge? I had seen comments that questioned the quality.

OK then. Case Gage is what I'm looking for because I want to check case length and Headspace of resized cases. Thanks Now if I could only find someone who has them in stock :)

Some of you guys have recommended that I get a case length gage. Do you guys recommend any particular brand that may be available? Or will any do? Thanks

Got it. Thanks for the explanation.

Akula, thanks for the info. Can you explain why I need to sort the brass by headstamp? I don't understand how it makes any difference in the loading process. thanks

Or in other words, do I have to treat brass that is stamped with Fed differently in regards to the primer that is used?

Yes, but my question is, does brass stamped with Fed, must use AR Primers?

For clarification, are you saying that brass stamped with Fed must use AR Primers?
