Small Mag primers & 5.56

[bdevr]

Hi all,
I know this isn't really Grendel related, but I sold her and now have 3000 CCI 450's left. So what is the general consensus on using them to load 5.56 rounds? Other than it's nowhere near as good of a round as the 6.5...

That will never work, you should mail them to me immediately so you won't accidentally use them, I will keep them safe for you.

shucks, just kidding. Someone will give you a non-smartass answer soon......

Lol. That^^^ answer took much longer than I figured it would.

CCI 450's are very popular for reloading .223. You might want to rework your loads if you're at or near max but I doubt you'll notice any significant difference.

I use mag primers for my 223 using H335 on 60gr bullets.

Yeah no worries use them all the time with imr 4198,4895 and now cfe. The've always gone bang and never BOOM! lol

Well, I guess that there is no need to worry about over pressure using the mag primers in a .223. If I only had a clue what ^^^ this meant?

[terrywick4]

^^^ means to put in a color Adjective in of your choice.

I figured that would be a perfect time to "dispose" of them.

Looks like we'll be shooting over snowbanks in June!
