Reloading DefensiveCarry.com accepts no liability for reloading information posted by members. It is down to the individual posting to ensure safe standards and to readers to verify what they read - it is they finally who bear responsibility for useage of information. Remember - typos can occur!
We strongly recommend that in most cases quoted loads be derived from recognized loading manuals and if possible these should be referenced. Where loads do not have back-up reference data available, for instance with use of an unusual powder, then posters are asked to please detail their method for establishing their data. Irresponsible publishing of unsubstantiated ''guestimated'' data is deprecated and may be heavily moderated.

5.56 brass is fine and works well with a .223 die set, load data is available on several sites. Just remember that a 5.56 case uses less powder so as long as your careful you'll be fine. Have shot may thousands of 5.56 reloads that way.

Exclamation my 2 cents...

The twist rate of my CAR is 1:9...and with the 5.56 barrel...it really likes the 55 and 62 grain bullets. Having said that, I've shot 75 grainers with pretty good effect too !
