Greetings to All,
I'm new at reloading and starting to load some 223. I have an ar15 pistol that is having some issue in feed reloaded rounds. I've tried factory rounds and the gun fed and cycled with no issue. I compared my reloaded rounds to the factory ammo and found that my reloads are longer than the factory, i'm using 55 grn plated projectiles from xtreme bullets. The The suggested col that i've found on hodgdon website is at 2.200. My question is can I seat the projectile a bit deeper? Say 2.190 or less? I'm using the minimum powder charged on my reloads. Would the pressure be affected by the deeper seating and if it does any significant effect? Any input will be appreciated...thanks
