I'm loading some 223 ammo and have a question.
Specs:
LC Brass, Once fired
Rem Small Rifle primers
Varget Powder
Hornady A-Max Moly coated bullets
Will be fired from an AR15/M4gery with a 16" barrel marked 5.56.
I'm loading approx 24 gr of powder into the case, using a 75gr A-Max bullet. It says the COL is 2.250" (info from Hodgdon's website). When I seat the bullet, I can hear it crunching powder and seems the taper on the bullet is such that when seated, there is more of a lip on the mouth of the brass. Is either of these a problem?
I'm only loading 10 rounds as a test, but want to make sure there isn't a problem first.
Thanks in advance.
