[QUOTE="Ol' Red, post: 2799160, member: 107965"] 5.56 is loaded to max pressure of 58,000 PSI for the military. .223 is loaded to max pressure of 55,000 PSI. I have at least 800 rounds of military brass (Lake City) reloaded to shoot through mine and my wife's ARs. You have to remove the primer crimp, and the brass is thicker. I use one grain or so less powder in military brass. Of course you don't have to reload to max pressure. [/QUOTE]
