Started with 1,000 PMC brass 223's and a case of Federal 223's. Kept my brass along with range pick up. Tumble it, size it (Lee full length die), tumble the lube off, trim it and throw it in the ready to load bin. 26.0 of W748 under a 55grn Berrys bullet FMJ seated to the cannelure......never a problem. I have shot over 2,000 of these. I would have to look at my notes to see the actual OAL. 223 for my AR's was my first experience with rifle loading. I did probably 1500 on a Lee single stage press kit. Did about 20 every night or every couple days, next thing you know you look down and have 600 loaded.......way quicker than people imagine.
