Sizing new brass will help you seat your bullet better, plus in shipping sometimes brass cans be crinckled near the neck. Its always a safe rule to resize any brass you plan on reloading, new or used, or brass that you may buy at auction that already stats its been resized. Its good to keep...

All of the many of 1000's of 223/556 rounds I have hand primed(yep I still do it old school with a single stage press and Lee hand primer, when I blast of 10k rounds a year) I have very little issues priming when there is some type of crimp, all I have to do is spin the case in the case holder...

50, 55, and 60, grainers all do well in all of my AR platforms, some like the lighter grain over the others. After 60gr, I did not get decent results out of the carbine platforms.

Berrys has great bullets. I use them in 9 calibers. Can't say nothing bad about them, other than j hate when the box runs out. Hahaha

The only brass I shoot out of my Garand is 1940s. If your unsure if its berdan primed, take the bullet and powder out and look down, very easy. Some times over the years the primers get a but of corrosion on them, if its super bad, then I replace it, but if its a little bit, I sling the bullet...

9mm, 223, 45LC, 7x57, 308,30-06, 30-30, 243, 38spl, 357mag all reload very nicely for me. You will always have a few pieces that premature fail in any headstamp. PPU is as good as some of the military brass.

Dogtown bullets are great. I have seen great results with H335, AR-COMP, And H380 with Dogtown's, in my various 223 rifles.

Also when reloading, your military brass is going to be thicker, so reduce the loads from commercial.

Benchmark works real well with my 22-250 as well and my other varmint calibers.

I found a guy on YouTube that came as close to factory specs as he could. 36.1 gr Varget with a 140gr B.T. Soft Point bullet, that will get you 2300fps, he said that's only 10fps shy of factory load.

H335 is a good powder if you do t have anything else on the shelf for 223. I used it a lot when the powder scare came. No one around here I guess uses it. Because that was a powder that was always on the shelf, but no one wanted it

All my brass I separate by headstamp, and load only 1 headstamp at a time. That way there is less confusion. And then you can measure and see if its just a couple pieces of brass or more that need trimmed, or thrown out. I forgot to trim some 30-30 once, and the action on my Model 94 would not...

I'm still using Lee Auto Prime #90230, for over 15 years, has primed over 20,000 caseings. Haven't ran into a problem with it yet. It might be time for you to give up green and go to red. I'm not sure what customer service will say on your issue.

Trim revolver brass, when needed. No very often. Semi-auto brass I never touch with trimming.

I've only seen IMR 700X. If your going to change manufacturer of powder and it has the same name, it is advised that you do your load testing for it. Because its different powder. Yes may have same charistics as the other but its made from a different machine and lot number.

One time I found a box of 50, 45 LC on the pistol range. I was totally shocked, because a lot of the guys at that club do cowboy shoots, so they love their brass. So maybe it was someone else that got a hand cannon and wanted to throw big lead around. Well I thanked them as I collected all their...

I used to have that problem, then I found the sprayable lube further down the reloading asile. Won't go back to a RCBS lube pad or anything close to it.

Nickel plated brass can be harder on the dies. They will reload OK, though.

Im on Harbor Freights, email list and last month they had ammo boxes for 5.99 a piece for a 30 cal can (by dimensions) coupon was for good for 8 cans. I gave my girlfriend a coupon and I had one. I use factory boxes with inserts that fellas throw away at the range, i use Army Surplus cans...

You can Neck Size with FL die. So you would have the best of both worlds. If its your brass fired from your gun you can just neck size if a few reloads then FL size it to the the case back where its supposed to be. Out of my larger caliber caseings, I get 5-8 reload before I see problems. I...
