So, I made a big mistake a few months ago while loading some .223/5,56 ammo. I ALWAYS lightly crimp w/a Lee FCD after seating...except for about 400 rounds that I roll crimped with the RCBS seating die. Hey, I wanted to save a step and some time! Yep you know what's coming. I crushed the cases and bulged the shoulder a bit. Not enough to notice (I'm an idiot) on the first few so I kept cranking away. Anyway I did notice the bulge when I started loading mags. From a 30 rd. mag. they chamber but are a bit tight trying to eject them. I've not fired any.
Safe to shoot? I value the body's opinion.
Thanks a ton.
