Been reloading a lot of rifle calibers but want to start reloading for my AR15. It is chambered in 5.56 and because it is so common it is hard for me to learn what to do.
I reload with RCBS gear.
First question... all die sets that I saw are .223. Is there a RCBS die set for 5.56 or is it right to use the .223 die set. For all my other calibers (300 win mag, 25-06, etc) I just go pick up a die set and there is only one option. I saw 5 or 6 different things labeled .223 and didn't want to grab something wrong (and didn't have time as I was being rushed out of the store.)
Second Question... Small rifle primers, correct? Everything else I have is Large rifle or magnum. Just want to be sure....
Thanks guys, from someone that reloads quite a bit but is just starting a new caliber.
