in terms of brass, there is NO difference between 223 and 556 brass, its the same (except for head stamp of course).
Swag out the crimp, size and trim that stuff, and you're in business. LC is good brass. |

Quoted: I recently ordered about 1700 Lake City once fired crimped 223 brass. I am a little confused because I thought that military brass (as this was advertised) was 5.56, however I am reloading for 223. Is there such a thing as 5.56 LC brass, and 223 LC brass? Go up to FAQ's and read about the difference between 223 and 5.56 chambers. The cases are the same.

If you want to know where to find something, post in the "Where To Find Thread". Tacked thread near top of the page. First place I would check is the EE, Equipment Exchange. Orange button top center of page. If you start a thread asking where to find something, I will lock it. Please, no more "where to find" in posts either. dryflash3

Is there such a thing as 5.56 LC brass, and 223 LC brass? Not sure why ATK is crimping .223 brass. Used to be, commercial brass did not have crimped-in primers. Anyway, the reason I used to like LC NATO 1X was because it was charged to a little higher pressure than SAAMI to get the projectiles up to .mil spec speed. So, if one observed SAAMI pressures in the reloading of same, the case would have had a bit more pressure proof testing than the commercial stuff. Not a biggy though. |
