.223 loaders, got a question
« on: December 11, 2008, 07:21:25 AM »
When loading for my .223 I've had a problem with stuck cases. I'm really getting sick of it. One thing I notice though is that it's always the ultramax or black hills brass which I believe is military. Is the rim weaker on mil brass? I clean the dies all the time and make sure I get even coverage with lube but they still stick.

Will I have better results with winny or Remmy brass?

I use Hornady one shot is that nasty rcbs better?

 :dunno:  :dunno:  :dunno:  :dunno:

Anybody out there have any tips??

If its millitary brass the necks are thicker and that might be your problem. 5.56 brass has thicker walls then .223 brass. :twocents:

Be careful of applying too much lubrication also. It will make the case stick if it is too much.
Some people spend their entire life wondering if they made a difference. Marines don't have that problem.

I've loaded quite a bit of the LC military brass with out any problems. I also only use RCBS case lube that came with my kit 11 years ago. Only because I'm too cheap to get something else.
