[QUOTE="grizlywinkleman, post: 712157, member: 16464"] I do not have nor have I ever used a precision mic I will look into them, but I do use a RCBS small base die. That is the only die I have been using for resizing. I took some measurements with a micrometer of my reloaded round with 223 brass and of a loaded factory Lake city 5.56 round that chambers and cycles fine and this is what I came up with: oal: 223-2.220 (after I adjusted from 2.267) 5.56-2.227 Neck: 223-.245 5.56-.247 Shoulder: 223-.355 5.56-.355 Base: 223-.374 5.56-.374 Rim: 223-.374 5.56-.373 I tried to take pictures of the two up close but my camera will not work with me and focus. If there is anything else I can do let me know. In the mean time I will look into a precision mic. [/QUOTE]
