In my other thread about bulk reloading on my Dillon 650 for practice ammo I had this question that I thought should have it's own thread.
I have no interest in sorting brass unless I have to.
I've heard some people say I need to separate my 556 and 223 brass, which I have done so far just to avoid swaging all the primer pockets, but after reading different and doing some experimenting, I found that a large sample of all the different headstamp 223 and 556 brass I have collected (about 20 different headstamps) have a range of internal volumes that led me to the conclusion I can use a load that is safe for all my brass, be it wolf gold 223 or lake city 556.
I filled each case 5 times with water and measured the weight of the water, trying to be as consistent and scientific as possible.
Does anyone have a similar experience?
