I've used a ton of H335. Its great. Also BLC-(2). Alot of good choices out there.

Note that if you're going to crimp, cases have to be trimmed to the exact same length. I do not, and have never seen the need to, crimp .223.

Wouldn't hurt to chamber check your resized brass in any rifles you're going to shoot through, this first go-around, but I'm pretty sure they'll be fine, sounds like they're a GO in your gauge.

Make sure to remove the primer pocket crimp on that once-fired stuff. LC is guaranteed to be crimped. I ream, some swage.

They are actually reloads that I bought a while back, so I got lucky, the crimps are already chamfered out of them.

Very cool! So consider 'em twice fired.

I keep track of firings by making a mark with a sharpie on the case head per loading. At 5 reloadings, I toss 'em.

Yeah, H335 is another go-to powder when avail for .223.
I've used it in .308 rounds and my only complaint is it has a signature fireball, which might NOT be good in a fire fight at night.

Here is a buddy shooting a Sav 99 .308 in 22 inch barrel with H335.

Thanks for the warning! Good to know it's coming, but I kinda like fire haha
