RELOADING .223 ON A DILLON 650 USING NATO BRASS

How to reload .223 Nato ammo and how to deal with crimped primer pockets including swaging and trimming your rifle brasses. .223 is a difficult round to reload but once you get all the little quirks figured out its not to bad. If you are a first time reloader start with pistol rounds and then move on to rifle rounds. I recomend books I have no idea who figured all this stuff out but the info is out there.

Very good video. I have stated in my videos that everybody needs a copy of a loading manual. Between you and Socal I am going to end up with a 650 or 1050 loader. I have had a 550 for years and can't justify the expence of a case feeder when I can load around 500 an hr. setting them in by hand. I supose if I shot more Id go for it.

@Buckrun11 Thats a good pointe. Its all about how much you shoot will determan what press to purchace. If you do buy a new press blame Socal not me.. LOL

I find myself mumbling "Thou Shalt Not Covet Thy Neighbor's Dillon"....

[OBXSOLWIND]

@texasprepper2 Thats OK my friend. I dont think theres any mention of that in the Bible...

I just did my first run of .223. Agree with you totally that .223 are pesky little things.

Did you re-size again after trimming, in your first stage? Do you tumble the trimmed/resized brass to get the lube off?

Excellet video , Thank You for sharing.

This weeks is going to be long weeks so going to start reloading .223 out of my 550b. Was wondering why you run brass threw your sizing dye twice. one to size and trim other time is just to load primers ? Other question is , what is tolerance for Trim size and over all bullet size ?

Good video. Well done.  Thank you for posting it.

I'm looking to start reloading my own ammo soon. Can you give tips on how to acquire brass and also what types and size of primers do you use. I will be purchasing a Dillon Super 1050 after the New Year. I plan on reloading .223 Remington and .308 Winchester. Maybe a pros and con on Winchester vs Remington also.
