Help me clear up some confusion.
I am getting ready to start reloading for .223 / 5.56 for my AR-15. RRA 16” barrel 1/9” twist
Should you full length re-size your cases or can using just a trim die be suffecient?
My brass is all range brass.
I have reloaded for my .223 Savage Tactical Bolt action with good results. Reloading for my AR-15 will be new to me.
If I am correct the trim die just re-size's the neak only. Right ?
The confusion is I read somewhere that if your reloading the cases fired from the same weapon, re-sizing just the neak is sufficient?
If this is true what I am thinking, is that I could use a universal decapper deprimer die and then just use the trim die.
Another qestion: A small base sizing die does exactly what? I here they are for autoloader rifles?
The trim die I have is the RCBS. I also have a FL RCBS die.
I wreaked my FL Lee Sizing die, I had and idiot attack. Long story.
Any help would be great.
Thanks
JJ
