223/556 M200 Blanks

[Keeebs]

I'm in need of 223 blanks. Hornady makes a star crimp for crimping 223 blanks.

I can't seem to find a definitive answer as to whether or not 223 brass can be converted? I'm not sure if the brass is long enough.

If they can be converted, load data is the next. Any ideas from someone who has done this before would be helpful.

Then if all those ducks line up, should you seal the crimp with something to prevent exposure to elements?

And yes, I'm kicking around buying the can launcher. Which will be a tatic-kool potato gun

For a semi-auto you need longer brass. The crimp takes the place of the bullet so the round will feed.

I have been making blanks for old west movies, nothing in 223. These people have.
