Reloading .223/5.56 components looking scarce

[jrtraderny]

A light crimp is always a good idea even w/o canelure. Light means very light so there is no deformation possible. This also helps achieve more consistent starting pressures.
I was wondering about the point you said spire so it means solid no hollow point right?
Thanks.

Yes solid no hollow point. Pure solid copper wire stock with spire point and boattail. Nice paper punchers and cheap. Might even work as good as an M855 only 7gr. lighter.

they should be fine. easier to make consistent by the machines than fmjs. 55gr should be a good bullet. one could always start a channel using a tool and a punch.
probably good penetrators too. let us know how they shoot. they seem like a great value.
Thanks.

I have had no problems getting projectiles over the last 2-3 years. Powder has been my problem. I have loaded with H335 for years and have not been able to grab any in almost a year. It is out there, I am just to slow on my internetz! Primers where tough for a while but have bounced back...powder not so much.

The reloading world is cyclic...HOARD...errr...Buy... when you can! My goal is to stockpile 5 years of components for every caliber I shoot!
