I've been reloading .40 cal for a while now, and am wanting to get into reloading .223/5.56. I started looking for brass to start out with, and found some good deals on 5.56. Is there a difference between reloading the two? I know the outside dimensions are the same, though I have heard that the case wall is thicker in the 5.56, resulting in some small chamber dimensions.
Can someone knowledgeable (and who speaks "newbie") help me out on this? Is there a formula I need to use to convert the suggested powder amounts in my Lyman's reloading manual from .223 to 5.56?
Thanks in advance!
