    Last time I loaded .223 was 2014...remember the good old days? Used the same recipe as last time - WCC 08 (2X now), 23.2 of 8208XBR, 77 grain Nosler 77 (with cannelure - they must have been on sale), Win Small Rifle Primer, OAL a little over 2.26.

    Got some gas on my way to the range. Looks like the Pro/Anti Biden crowds are still fighting. The good guys are in the lead right now...

    Should have turned the disk to read the diameters, under 1/2 inch.

    I think the load will work. The Dillon is going to rain bullets.
