[QUOTE="BigSkyGP, post: 444385, member: 28118"] Do you trim your .223 brass? It all needs to be the same length for the crimp die to crimp them all the same. Without adjusting the crimp die for each case of differing length. I don't normally crimp for my ARs even. I do use RCBS Small Base die in the Dillon for my ARs. More reliable feeding. For a bolt gun I would set up, and back off the FL die so it's just bumping the shoulder. The reloads for the bolt gun probably won't work for the ARs after you do this. You could have a neck tension issue. Have you sorted your range brass by brand? No two brands of brass will shoot the same powder charges, will be different because of capacity, and pressure issues.
