I’m planning to shoot my bolt gun in 223 more just to save some money and increase trigger time. In the past I’ve just bought ammo for 223 but now I want to reload for it but I’m torn, doubt I reload for my AR but never know.
Is a crimp die needed? I see for semi auto it is recommended but does that effect accuracy? Is it worth going for a three die set vs two die without crimp?
I won’t be shooting competition but want to develop a good load, are middle of the road dies just fine for 223?
What powders do you guys recommend?
I plan to make a trip to the Sierra factory to pick up some seconds for bullets, not sure what options they’ll have but will probably be around a 55gr option.
I’ll be using Norma brass since I got a ton of their tac ammo for cheap a few years ago.
