[QUOTE="Kevin Thomas, post: 702190, member: 15748"] I'm not generally a fan of crimping, and there's really no need to do so in the 223s for an AR. However, if I do crimp, the Lee is the way to go. I'll be the first to say, I'm not a fan of most Lee products, but they really hit the nail on the head with these, and even more so with their Factory Crimp Die for pistol cartridges. Those, I use on every straight-walled pistol case I load for, religiously, and I don't think I've had an ammunition related jam since I started using them. As with anything, you just don't want to over do it with a crimp. Think, "the least that you can get by with, and no more." Given proper neck tension (which isn't hard to achieve), that alone should be all you need for an AR. [/QUOTE]
