OK, different thought process than reloading LC brass for my M1A, and no need to reduce powder charge.

So a prior comment regarding not shooting 5.56 in a .223 barrel...I no longer shoot commercial .308 in my M1A chamber/barrel. I understand it can let the brass stretch too much. I did have an R&P case rip in half and had to use a broken shell extractor to get it out.
