[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3748488, member: 5412"] Reloads? I had the same issue with an AR. I called RCBS about why I was having issues not coming to battery. They said that the issue was in the standard .223 dies. The instruction included with the dies say to bring the ram all the way to the top of the die, back off a bit and screw the die in 1/8 turn. RCBS told me to take it to 1/4 turn. It fixed all issues. They now sell small base dies to correct that problem. If you're using factory ammo, we were told in the Army to not load a full mag. load one less so the round rested on one side and I don't' remember which. . Back in the day it was a 20 round mag, now 30 for standard issue. Edit: Read where you are using factory ammo. [/QUOTE]
