Deker 3,478 Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 It's simple, if it says 5.56 then use it in a 5.56 (NOT .223), if it says .223 then use it in a .223 (or 5.56 if you must)! Very interesting stuff, as I say I've never come across this before but in saying that I don't shoot a .223 anymore or buy ammunition from the shops. So in theory, it would be more economical to reload 5.56 brass due to needing less powder? I have a stack of RADWAY GREEN brass here that is neither head stamped with .223 or 5.56 and produced some fine reloads. John Personal view but shared by many...RG 7.62 is well respected and I still have plenty of 1985 Vintage which performs brilliantly. RG 5.56 is crap...RG/BAE Systems want out of ammo manufacturing for the military but the Giovernment will not let them, so putting it bluntly, they produce 5.56 crap in the hope they will get dumped. From what you say the brass is good, doesn't surprise me, so they are just messing around with quality control in general assembly I guess! Quote Link to post
