I have several thousand rounds of Federal 55gr XM193 5.56mm ball. The head stamp is LC 08. This is to be used in an AR-15 style rifle.
I have looked in several reloading manuals but have not seen any instructions on reloading 5.56. Is it the same as .223? What primers to use? powder? quantities?
If it is to be loaded to the same specs as .223, why can't you shoot 5.56 from a rifle marked as .223?
Help!! Please.
