As with most, I have a few questions. First is what is the major differences in .223, and 5.56? Somebody told me that using one or the other in the wrong gun could cause damage, is this true? I have a ton of Lake City brass, and have measured it to be at 1.762 on about all of them. I have read that I should start trimming around 1.80, is this right? Now I have Winchester 55gr .223 FMJ's, Accurate 2230 powder, and Winchester primers. From what I have read so far, 22gr would be a safe load, is this good? I am using a Dillon 650, with carbide dies. I have also read about using lube, and will be accordingly. Now about lube, I noticed that powder likes to stick to it inside the case neck, is this ok? I know these might be stupid questions, but I like many others are a little anal when it comes to details. Especially when it comes to my little hobby. Thanks in advance for the help.
