I have a brand new set of 223 dies (Lee 2 die set).
Can these be uses for 5.56?
Do 5.56 & 223 cases have different (not mfg) head stamps?
Both my reloading books just show 223 but also indicate 5.56, are most reloading books like this or do I need new manuals for 5.56 data?
What I have read is that 5.56 has higher pressures than 223 hench the reason you shouldn't uses 5.56 in a 223 barrel so are case lengths different?
Sorry for all the questions but trying to get a better handle on this.
