5.56 Chamfer/Deburring
Quote from Reloader on June 4, 2013, 9:27 pmIv loaded 22-250 / 270 / 30-30 / 300 win mag but never 5.56/223
I have once fired brass that has been deprimed, swaged, sized, trimed,cleaned and polished.
Do i need to chamfer / deburr every case before loading?
Iv usually only done this on brand new brass or trying to improve accuracy...
Im just loading this 5.56/223 for plinking/3-gun ....M193 55gr FMJBT will be the projectile
Your thoughts ?

I was also thinking of cleaning and deburring the primer pockets as well.
What do you think?
