    Dimpled shoulders?

    Re: Dimpled shoulders? If it's about the size of a piece of polishing media, it could be a piece of walnut or corncob stuck in the die. It could also be a buildup of lube, or too much lube on the casings. Have you cleaned the die recently?

    223 brass in 5.56 chamber ?

    Re: 223 brass in 5.56 chamber ? As long as you do a full length resizing, it will not matter which chamber the brass was last fired in. Well, assuming they were both .223/5.56mm chambers. Twist rate has absolutely nothing to do with the chamber.
