EC, any news on your intermediate 'rifle reloading for pistol loaders' class?
That was the result of a stuck case (a BADLY stuck case) due to improper lubrication. I ruined a nice Forster sizing die trying to remove it.
Let me guess, One Shot?

You measure them.
The first time I prep a batch of brass, I usually set my trimmer up to trim my .223 cases to the SAAMI minimum (1.740").
How long are they?ED. Some of the brass I resize is not that long. Can it still be reloaded with any expectation of accuracy?

How long are they?
My mistake. I just went down and checked. I trim mine to 1.759, and I have a 1/2 bucket that are 1.754. Should I keep the shorter ones separated?
Just shoot them. 5 thousandths is not going to make a difference unless you're some sort of world-class bench rest shooter. (Even if you are it probably won't.)
It takes just as long to measure one as it does to just trim the damn thing. So, why not just trim as a normal part of processing rifle brass.
I run 100% of what I process through my Giraud trimmer. They all get trimmed to 1.750.
Which brand of primers should be used for the .223 in AR? I usually prefer Federal or Winchester for reloading. But I've been told they are too soft for use in the AR. Slam Fires?
