[QUOTE="Kevin Thomas, post: 275705, member: 15748"] Some cautions here; reloading for a Service Rifle is a form of advanced handloading, and some specialized techniques apply. Don't trreat these guns as you would a bolt action, or you'll have some serious problems. There's some good info out there on this type of reloading, including the books by John Feamster, Glen Zediker, and Derrick Martin. Some of the Sierra manuals also had chapters specific to reloading for autos. Take the time to review these sources before diving in, and you'll do okay. Other thna that, great cartridge to reload for, and the guns themselves can be incredibly accurate. Finally, Dillon does offer carbide dies for the 223, but they're not what you're looking for here. They are intended for commercial reloading, and the carbide is for longevity. They still have to be lubed, just like conventional steel dies. Not surprisingly, they were also well over $200 for the sizer, when last I looked. Hope this helps, Kevin Thomas Berger Bullets [/QUOTE]
