Lee Beginning Reloading, 223/5.56, Video 5, CCI No. 41 PRIMERS FOR 5.56mm Ammunition 

As a person just getting into reloading, thank you!!! Very helpful!

You provide a lot of good information to reloaders. One issue, and perhaps the most perplexing is choosing a powder. There are so many factors to consider in selecting a powder it would be nice to have a chart that rates/ranks the powders based on these many criteria. Here is a list of things to consider when it comes to powders: 1.burn rate best suited for bullet weight, 2. performance, ie velocity., 3. Accuracy/Consistency which includes low SD and good ES numbers, 4. Temperature sensitivity, 5. Metering ease, 6. Cleanliness is it clean burning or dirty, 6. Easy on barrel ie. non-corrosive, 7. Easy on cases for longer case life, 8. Size of load where smaller sized necessary loads equals more loads per pound, 9. Usability over a wider range of bullet sizes or calibers, 10. Cost per pound, 11. Availabilty. There may be more factors to consider than listed here but it would be nice to see a chart where these factors were evaluated for each powder (even just for the 223 as a base point due to its populariity). With your existing knowledge and experiences it shouldn't be too hard for you to come up with such a chart. It would of great value to reloaders trying to decide on powder(s).

76 Highboy is the man . Grade A work Brother!

Sierra load manual is awesome. Great video Highboy

Great info for the primer seating, no one else talks about it for the AR platform

Primers are measured in Milli Vanilli seconds. So fast it would rescind a Grammy. ;-)

I like that shirt highboy, definitely a high quality shirt. The one I got from you is still going strong, I were it to the range quite a bit

Another good video

I think that's my my M&P10 has that extra spring on the front of the firing pin, to prevent the very thing you are talking about. I'm not sure if all AR10/LR308 rifles have that or not but the M&P10 does.

Very well explained! One of the best steps and purchase I ever made was ...PRIMER POCKET UNIFORMING!!! Love it, live it - thanks Highboy ;) I'm starting to lean towards CCI 400 for milder loads and 41's for everything else- especially my 300BLK . I have around 500 7 1/2's left but try to use them for the heavier bullets like 68gr and 77gr- they are very nice but somewhat hard to come by around here.

👍👍👍

Can I use 556 primer in a 223 case??

😁👍👍

What happened to video #5?

Jerry Miculek & Walker Texas Ranger pause between trigger pulls to let the powder burn... I don't have that problem so I like a nice safe primer to avoid slam fires and out of battery fires. Sure, it takes all the excitement out of wondering when I will get a slam fire or out of battery fire. But I can live with that.

Look at that price 😭

Amazon delivered my Sierra Reloading Manual. Pretty detailed . :-)
