    A set of dies for reloading .223 for my AR. I like a factory crimp, I have had bad luck with RCBS so they are out. Lee is fine. I am in Pensacola Thanks for looking.

    Why bad luck with RCBS? For .223rem I have a Hornady and 2 RCBS sets. For bullet seating, i like the Hornady, but RCBS is good and better customer service.

    RCBS Quality; I feel the quality of the craftsmanship is not as good as it was 10 years ago. I understand they are mass produced but quality goes a long way. The carbide pistol dies I recently purchased "in the last 5 years" were great however, rifle dies not so much. Loose sloppy fit, poor threads, and decapping rod issues on a .270 set and 7 Mauser set. I am looking for advise on load data for the AR like powder and weight bullet. I have a .223 Wylde chamber with a 1 . 9 twist rifling, barrel in 16". A used set of dies will be fine with me. I already have 4,000 pieces of brass. Thank you
