Bad 223 brass???

[Flannyjack]

Are you trimming the brass after you resize them? Never had an issue with any brand brass for 223.

I sure am. I even ran a batch through the sizing die again to test out.

I don’t think the problem is in your sizing. As long as your handle “cams” over the die is putting the brass back to factory size. Then it more than likely has to be trimmed, chamfered and de burred. Does your handle cam over on sizing?

It does cam over, I'm going to try and debur and chamfer more off.

Well. It sounds like you’re doing everything right. Might want to check your headspace.

2.215 is what they measure out to.

2.215 is on the short side

**** Update ****

After talking to Wes he helped me solve the problem. Turning my sizing die down another 1/4 turn fixed everything. So 1/2 a turn after setting my sizing die is what solved it. I can now thankfully use this 5 gal bucket of WCC brass I acquired! Thank you Wes and all members who helped put in some advice!
