I just picked up a Spikes tactical St-15 223/5.56 NATO and I would like to strart reloading for it and came across a question that I tried to answer by useing the search opition but I found so many threads that said to do two diffrent things it made my head hurt, so I'm just going to ask
What I have to start with is hornady 55 grain fmj bullets remington brass and h335 powder. The starting load that I found on hodgdon's web site is 23.0 grains of h335. (practice ammo)
Now to the real question do I need to find primers that are made just for the 223/5.56 or can I just use small rifle primers??
I don't want any so called slam fires I like to be as safe as possible while I'm at the firing range.
