[QUOTE="CogburnR, post: 736726, member: 29174"] I understand the difference in the two calibers is in the leade angle. Basically the 5.56 has a long throat and shallow leade angle versus the standard throat of the .223. Thus ammo loaded for the longer leade has more freebore and is loaded slightly hotter to compensate. If fired in a standard .223 it may result in high pressure. I have a Dillon 450 and have never ran it in progressive mode,I think I have most of the parts to convert it to a 550. It is a nice press. [/QUOTE]
