Yeah, another second for Bucky. I've been using the Lee crimper for a while for all my .223/5.56 production. Shoot it in different ARs (16" & 24") and a Mini, as well. I also have sold a lot of it to others who have used it in 20" ARs, bolt actions, and even one buddy who has a Carbon "pistol". There's no use in making "hot" loads, so I stay middle of the road, usually with AA2230, 4895 or BlC2. There have been no issues in the many yrs I've been doing them. Crimping really helps.

Now the only question I have is how Bucky can shoot a .223 accurately at 625 yds?!?! Dang ~ That's GOOD!
