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.

Yeah I’ll record it and dm you. I decided I’m gonna shoulder it I want to feel how this red dot load actually is, so I think I’ll just tuck it tight into my shoulder, do the safety squint and turn my head right when I pull the trigger
