[QUOTE="Nitroman, post: 572385, member: 37986"] Bingo. Look on the barrel of your AR. If it is a Colt, it will have all the info you need as to twist, chrome/not chrome and chamber. Most, but not all, AR's have a 5.56 NATO chamber, which is just a little (I mean a little), different than a .223 Remington chamber. So like the previous poster, if you buy a bunch of once-fired military brass, it will need the FL die. The Lee die directions are like most, the additional 1/4 turn at the top is just to make sure you really ARE bottoming out. Remember, the manufacturers are printing these directions for everyone. I believe if you are on this forum, you probably have a few more IQ points than the average Bubba-Hunter, don't worry about it. Fire some rounds in your rifle and take a close look at them. I'll bet you can fire them a few times just neck sizing before you need to squish them back down with the FL die. [/QUOTE]
