If your rifle is marked as 5.56, you can shoot either 223 or 5.56. If your rifle is marked as 223 then you should only shoot 223. 5.56 is a hotter round and should not be used in a 223 rifle.

We have only two main threads. I don't think adding one more would make the site confusing.

What do you use to anneal brass? Do you have one of the "can" based annealers or do you do it by hand, just with a torch?

Well another great site is going away. What a bummer. The owner/admin for this site is closing down this November. Here comes the rant. As an old guy I appreciate the craftsmanship that goes into a...

After sizing, depriming, trimming, swaging, I've been polishing 3, 30cal ammo cans full of 30.06. They all got the wet SS treatment and then dried off by tumbling them. They are all beautiful and...

Went to the range today with my son. An older gentleman showed up by himself with 11 rifles. (About all I've seen brass wise at the range is 9mm, 223, 40S&W.) This guy began shooting and immediately...
