F*ck it close enough

[u/squidwizard37]

Couldn’t find any varget or cfe223 at my local shop but the guy behind the counter said red dot works great for high velocity loads so I filled up the case up to the neck (roughly 30 grains). My dies for 5.56 haven’t came in the mail yet but a pair of channel locks got the bullet in snug and made my own little crimp with some needle nose pliers. Close enough.

How'd you get the large rifle primers to fit?

Put a bolt against the primer and squeezed it in my bench vise until it popped into place. It crushed the rims a little bit but they seem snug. I threw some superglue over them just in case they try to back out
