[QUOTE="diriel, post: 457091, member: 26983"] First off, if you are going to REALLY shoot .223, you may want to consider a Dillon Progressive setup. Trust me, reloading for an auto 223 is a *BLEEEEEEP* ;) A Dillon will save your sanity! IF you go Dillon Progressive, then I would most seriously consider: -- IMR8208XBR Powder -- Sierra 69gr SMK (truly excellent all around bullet) -- Lake City 09 brand new mfg brass (500 count) from Midway is actually quite good overall. And the price is nice at only $79 on sale. They also have 1k counts as well. -- Primers: either the Rem 7 1/2 or the Wolf SR-M With the IMR powder you *MIGHT* give up a small bit of pure speed, but not very dang much, especially with the 69gr bullets, and if you use the nice heavy mil brass. It also flows through the Dillon nicely. Good Shooting, Gary [/QUOTE]
