[QUOTE="BigSkyGP, post: 444696, member: 28118"] +1 what Mike says. Hmmm, your expensive barreled AR probably has a Match/or Wylde chamber. This means it's tighter, it will favor factory ammo verry well. SB die might help this, but may not solve your issue. I was just reading on this site about tight neck chambers. Brass with long necks, from stretching and resizing, could be causing your problem. I don't know if this applies to .223, since it doesn't stretch a whole lot like larger calibers do. I don't trim as needed, you don't have to, I trim everytime. As long as you trim the batch of ammo you reload together, so that they strech all together, you will need to adjust your crimp die to reload each batch/lot, to correspond with their case length. Do some more reading, on this site, I've found at least three threads concering loading accurate ammo, sorting brass, bullets, etc. You can resize, measure case make sure they are not too long, prime, charge with powder, seat bullet, maybe crimp and shoot safe reloads. At the minimum. You can get great accuracy by adjusting, and having consistent powder charging alone. There are more things you can do to wring out more accuracy. Keep studying, we're here for you.
