[QUOTE="Bigeclipse, post: 1144359, member: 52437"] New to this round but not reloading in general. I know 5.56 is basically a 223 with a bit more pressure. I recently started shooting a mini 14 which I really like and would like to start reloading for it and make up several loads. one load for cheap plinking, another load for accuracy/hunting out to 300 yards and a third load for maybe house defense although I am not sure id want to be using a 223 for defense but who knows. So first question, should I not even bother with 5.56 pressures and simply stick with 223 loadings (my mini 14 is stamped 5.56 on the receiver so it can handle it). Second question, which bullets for coyotes out to 300 yards and last question is which rounds (if any at all) for home defense. Was thinking maybe V-max since they do not over penetrate. Any thoughts or things im missing? [/QUOTE]
