Excellent photograph.
It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
Rule 5: Check your firing zone
Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

What sort of neck tension are you guys running in your AR reloads ? I've only got the lee die at the moment, and with the neck expander removed I've only got between .002"-.003" at the most. Will this be enough ? and are people using crimp dies ?
I'm new to reloading for semi auto and don't want to stuff it up first time out, so any tips would be appreciated.
Cheers, Red

I don't bother crimping. My Hornady seating die has been working fine.
Just had to go to a small base body die as the Hornady FL wasn't sizing down enough. Had a few jams.Life is natures way of keeping meat fresh

I crimp as I like to seat my projectiles as long as possible so I'm a bit concerned about projectiles getting while knocked feeding from the mag

I don't crimp.
Use normal Redding full length die (and for my .308 semi), didn't need to go to small base dies.
Good info page for semi/service rifle reloading:

Don't buy DPMS. I got an import permit for a complete Spikes upper and lower. Haven't bought it yet.
