Lookin' Hopeful!

Guys,

The small based .223 Rem die came in this morning.

Sized a couple of pieces of brass made with a short shoulder as I was tryinjg to get them to fit into the cartridge gauge ... they dropped in and went too deep. The shoulder was indeed set too short!!!

Sized 10 pieces of brass that had been made with a long shoulder in the small based die. They are indeed too long!

Set the sizing die until they just fit into the cartridge gauge. Seems to work just fine!

Will be able to tell more when some ammo is loaded and fired in the rifle. Am much more comfortable with all of this now. Is a hopeful start!

Have 15-20 pieces of brass that will have to be tossed into the melt can, but that is a small price to pay if we can make 300/221 from 5.56 x 45 brass!
