I emailed the company for load data and to my surprise, they said they don't have any. They suggested that I look for 220 grain spire point 'lead' bullet load data and use that. I do...

223 to 300 case headspace / gaging problem

Hi, first post here. Thanks in advance for your help. I've got the Harbor Freight cutoff saw with a fixture to cut down 223 brass. I'm only using brass that's on the 'acceptable wall thickness' list. I've got two sizing dies; RCBS 'AR' SB sizing die and the Lee full length sizing die. I've also got ...
