Hi guys
I have been reloading pistol only for about 3 years. I have been waiting until I shoot through my 223/556 factory ammo stash until it was depleted before I started loading for my AR15.
Lately, I have starting processing the brass I have been collecting for my AR and noticed I have a pretty good mix of 223 and 556. 223/556 head stamps aren't the easiest or quickest to read. Originally, I thought I could separate the two easily by looking for a crimp. However, I have a bunch of 223 cases that are also crimped.
I want to load rounds for plinking and not worried about 500 yard accuracy. However, do I need to sort the 223 from the 556 brass and load separately or can I just use 223 load data for both. I would be loading well below 223 max pressure. Is 200 - 300 yard accuracy effected much by the difference in case volume?
Whats best practice?
