markley New member Aug 28, 2012 #4 Ok thanks. Had a buddy tell me that you could resize the 223 and I thought it sounded a little off
markley New member Aug 28, 2012 #5 So since I am wanting an AR upper the 223bcg won't work with the 6.8 rounds?

Is the 30 Remington the same case head size as a 35 Remington? The 6.8 is not based on the 35 Remington. Different critter. The 6.8 is a 0.421" case, as is the 25 and 30 Remington. The 35 Remington is a 0.457" case. .

I learned also that the 10mm pistol is based off the 30 Remington case... did not know that. . Last edited: Aug 28, 2012

ab_bentley New member Aug 28, 2012 #10 Yep I meant 30 not 35, currently build the 35. It's on the brain. Adam
