[QUOTE="Kevin Thomas, post: 826936, member: 15748"] Again, as I mentioned back in 2009 (!), the LC 5.56mm military brass is no heavier than the commercial 223 cases, and do not require a reduction in load data. This is a hold-over from the military 7.62mm and GI 30-06 cases which were significantly heavier than commercial brass, and did require a slight reduction in loads. Not the case (no pun intended) with the 5.56mm/223 Rem cases. Several of the commercial brands have notably less capacity than the LC 5.56mm cases, and will max out earlier than the military brass. Sorry, pet peeve of mine since I see this one repeated far too often. [/QUOTE]
