[QUOTE="TR1Hemi, post: 3000907, member: 122752"] I would venture to say that, today, more .223/5.56 is loaded on a Dillon, than all others combined. I have loaded and fired 10's of thousands for myself and friends and family. I use the Dillon Carbide die in a Dillon 550. You still have to lube, but given the volume that it has to endure it makes sense. I use Hornady One-Shot, throw 100 in a shoe box, spray, shake, let sit a min, and go, SUPER easy! I have never had one fail to chamber due to dirty chambers or under re-sized bases. I only bother to crimp my 55 or 62gr bullets with cannelure, or which is 95% of what most plink with, neck tension is enough for those without. Now with all that said. If you think you or someone you load for, may have to use it for defense. Only load bullets with soft tip and cannelure and put just enough crimp to measure .002" at the case mouth with calipers.
