.223 PPU brass help.

[Daniel_187]

I have a tall request, if there are any .223 reloading experts that would like to hang out and have a beer at my place( beers or whatever you poison it's on me), and straighten out me and my setup for reloading .223 for the AR. Am a "i need to see it to learn it" kinda guy. PM me if you are interested. Am on outskirts Boulder.

What are you loading and what issue[s] are you having?

[TheBelly]

I'll make a video to highlight anything you want about this.

[DFBrews]

I know a thing or 2 what kind of setup are you running

[Daniel_187]

It just seems the PPU Brass seems to need the die cranked down a little more and thus causing all the other brass to be under sized. And there is some "slop" in my Lyman turret press, the whole camming over thing.

i took the head of my turret press off and took steps to remove the slop. my turret press is a Redding T7, so it probably has a different mechanism than yours.

do you use a chamber gauge after you size the brass? that might tell the tale if your cases are getting worked too much.

[Daniel_187]

I do have a wilson case gauge, to get the PPU brass to work in my rifle I ran down the die till they fit the case gauge, but now am seeing that it over working all my other brass. I am going to toss the PPU brass in the scrap bin.

Dont get hung up on the case gauge. It is nothing more than a guide. Size brass until it chambers in your rifle.

Gauges are worthless unless they are made with the *exact* same reamer that was used to cut your chamber.

Try adding touch more lube to your brass.

I've had a lot of ppu cases give me fits. mainly with primer holes being off centered. a lee Die fixed it.

How do they weigh compared to other head stamps?
