[QUOTE="LVJ76, post: 1714326, member: 108965"] I have an AR in 223/5.56, it has a 16" barrel with a 1:7 twist and I want to start reloading to hunt Javelinas and Coyotes.l with it. I was recommended to use the 223 Small Base Die so I got one and I have some fireformed Hornady brass for it. I see the reloading manuals have options to reload for the 223 of course, but also saw for the 5.56 and I read somewhere the 5.56 will handle more pressure/muzzle velocity, is this correct? If so can I load a 223 case at 5.56 pressures? Also, how can I tell pressure signs on a AR besides maybe a flat primer? With a 60gr or 62gr bullet for Javelinas, what muzzle velocity can I expect with the 16" barrell? TIA [/QUOTE]
