Take it from me. When you exceed 55K (per QuickLoad cals) w/ 223 by any substantive amount, you start opening up primer pockets to the point that 5-6 firings and you're done.

Not so much catastrophic failure and/or brass extrusion into ejector cutout on any particular shot-- the brass just can't handle the cumulative effects over multiple shots.
