Question on .223 prep


Recommended Posts

Does anyone know of a good book or video that would steer me through the correct steps of getting a .223 shell through the prep stages. Like when to trim, then clean and polish, swage and such. I've been reloading for handguns for 2 years and am ready to start some rifle. I want to do it right. Thanks. Oh I have a Dillon trimmer to go on a XL650

From what I have heard if you have the dillon trimmer there should be no need to de-bur after you trim. So all you would have to do is swage 5.56 primer pockets to loadem up. This is my process

Tumble

Resize and deprime

Trim to 1.750

De-bur inside and outside

Cut out military crimp if needed

Clean primer pockets

Load!
