[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3189964, member: 15054"] I found my 380 factory carbide crimp die from Lee and pushed a .223 case through it all the way rim and all. The hole is very tight the case measured .374 and the Lee die measured .371 I had enough brass spring back to only allow the case to size down to .373 maybe a hair larger than .373. I ran it through 6 times with and without lube and same size every time. I would like to get them to .372". But I think having brass spring back will require very stressful times on the case. I will get my buddies AR and measure it. May need to home it a tick. I would rather do that so it will feed any ammo. [/QUOTE]
