223 semi auto ??

[LorenaF]

Hey guys, me again. I need to know if I am reloading for my SCAR in .223 do I need to full length size my brass or can I get away with just neck sizing?
I just don't know if there is any difference because it's an autoloader.

Full length size.

DO NOT neck size only for a semi auto. ONLY full lenght or small base size.

A case that does not chamber completly could cause a out of battery fire and serious injury!

For a while. When the cases grow and it gets hard to close the bolt...FL and bump the shoulder...then trim the cases. JMHO

FL 50 or 60gr vmax over 25gr H4895, sweet load on the SCAR.

Semi-autos, pumps and lever guns should use only F/L resized ammo. They don't have the camming power of a bolt gun if a case is tight when chambering. Easier in those guns to get a stuck case.

Bolt guns and single shots can use N/O sized cases. I don't N/O size in my bolt guns more than four times. I've had a few stuck cases when using N/O cases. No fun when you get a really stuck case.
