[QUOTE="NikatKimber, post: 1760247, member: 423"] Depends what you're loading for. If you don't shoot much, and what you do shoot is bulk available mil-type ammo, then no, it probably wouldn't be worth reloading. For accuracy, it gets worth it fast, depending on how you value your time. I totally understand being too busy to reload. I didn't get back into it for over a year and a half after moving down here from Stillwater. I'd bet 99% of the time, no problem. Especially since in most guns that are chambered for .223, they are also offered in larger higher pressure rounds anyways. So the chance of a KaBoom is super low, [I]in those guns.[/I] At the same time, I can't in good faith recommend someone else shoot a caliber in their gun that it is technically not rated for. *CAR beat me to it* As far as the accuracy, notice the "supposedly," in there. I guess I should have bolded/italicized that word. That's what the internet claims, but I haven't tested enough to verify one way or the other, and haven't really researched on other's first hand experience with both. [/QUOTE]
