| Just started reloading 223's and have a few questions. On average, about how many times can a singe brass casing be reloaded? What powder do you recommend? |
 IMR-3031 will work fine in 223, but it does have some issues. It's an extruded powder (looks like a log). Which measure poorly from a powder measure. You will need a drop tube (thing on the powder funnel) to get a full charge in a 223 case. Ball powder will measure very well from a powder measure and is normally dropped directly into the case. Easier for a new reloader. With an extruded powder like IMR-3031, a charge is thrown, the charge placed on a scale and the charge trickled up to the proper weight. |
