Aren't those the ones that have been problematic with magazine & chamber scratching/wear?

Seems like I remember the bullets on those being super hard, but not sure.

My friend in Wyoming has loaded about 20,000 .223 in case he needs it.
One magazine he has holds a hundred rounds

Range brass can be a great find as long as willing to completely rework it, pocket reaming can be tedious and time consuming but when you can gather up 800 to 1000 pieces per trip worth the time and effort. And you must be either crazy or love it to do 10K plus on a single stage Rock Chucker.
Not criticizing his purchase but get pretty much same capacity with black electrical tape with 2 down 1 up and ho long does it really take to drop replace when already at the ready in hand just rotate bottom to top.

I don't know what all the fuss is about with the 223 and those dangerous black rifles grin
