[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1509528, member: 4191"] Agree. Been there and done that over the chrony. I've weighed and kept records of 3,805 case weights of 223 Rem cases. The average case weight amongst the 23+ headstamped brands I've weighed is around 92gr. The difference between the lightest and heaviest case weighed was 20.9gr. As Trump would say, UUuuuuge for a case capacity as small as the 223 Rem. [20.9gr/92gr]= 23% of the average case weight. Within 36 casings of one specific head stamped brand, I found a 4.9gr difference between the lightest and heaviest case. If you want to blow a primer in your AR15, mix multiple brands of cases together on your reloading bench. Develop a max load in the lightest brand of casing. Then use the same load in the heaviest brand of casings. Bye bye primer... If there are any 223Rem aficionados (fans/reloaders) in the audience, I can provide my MS Excel spreadsheet. It prints out on 11x17" paper. Provides a range of 223 Rem case weights according to head stamps. PM me an e-mail address. [/QUOTE]
