[QUOTE="engineer40, post: 1141100, member: 90399"] If you're loading those 223 rounds for an AR, I wholeheartedly recommend this brass catcher: [U][U][U][U][U][URL='http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00EB5OU0Q/?tag=lrhmag19-20']Amazon.com : Caldwell Pic Rail Brass Catcher : Hunting And Shooting Equipment : Sports & Outdoors[/URL][/U][/U][/U][/U][/U] I have one and it works fantastic. Some of my friends have other makes/models and theirs do not work as nice. I have a case prep center also. Saves a ton of time. It's nice that the attachments for all of the tools are the same thread patterns. Doesn't matter if it's Lyman, Lee, Hornady, etc. Even the hand tools have the same thread pattern. I've taken all of my hand tools apart and just use the parts in my case prep center now. A couple of the attachments I do have are for Flash Hole Deburring and Primer Pocket Uniforming. After doing probably close to 1000 different brass now of different manufacturers, I can say that absolutely; Yes many flash holes have burrs in them and Yes the primer pockets are sometimes uneven. I have yet to prove to myself that either affects accuracy in a meaningful way however. I'm not saying they don't... I'm just saying I haven't been able to prove it to myself yet. At the end of the day I have come to believe that these 3 things make 90% of the difference: 1 - Proper powder charge weight tested for accuracy in your specific rifle. 2 - Bullet that your rifle likes to shoot. 3 - Bullet seating depth. The 1,000 other things you can do to try to reload more accurately make up that last 10%. [/QUOTE]
