its that close to my old go to recipe its not funny...and given that I was using milserp brass,its for all intents n purposes ,the same load.
stick with it,its a keeper.

the S&B we had in .308 was far and away the worst brass Ive struck...actually ripped arm off press resizing...made to do it if too much pressure. threw it all away after one go....

in 30 years of reloading I can 100% hand on heart say I have never annealed brass and have discarded for split necks less than 20 cases over that time....
your milage may vary,but its just not a...

me I just give a quick whirl with the case deburring tool.

yes some circular crimped....pain as dont realise it till youve munted a primer trying to seat it....

vertical stringing...... higher velocity will hit higher than slower velocity at longer range....so you get a group or string varying in height....

Im guessing that SHOULD read 2206h....24.5grns was my mild as heck go to load for 20 plus years in 223 50-55grn projectiles. only need to champher the pockets that were crimped...and usually...

so 1 grn of powder = ABOUT a 4% difference...if you using a 25grn load for ease of calculation.....
also for ease of calculation 3000fps velocity x 4% =120fps
which under 250ish yards wont matter...

unless your load is mild /middle of road so will be fine in smallest capacity case and slightly milder in largest.
my loads for 223 have been in milspec brass for last 25 years so switching to other...

you may well find some of the primers were crimped in place...a quick whirl around the lip of primer pocket once old primer removed will add a champher where the crimp was,dont over do it 1mm at very...
