:confused:new to reloading,trying to reload .223 rounds for my ar 15 r.r ,.I am using rcbs sb t/c .223/ 5.56 dies and a lyman headspace gauge to measure my case after I resize them.All have been pushed back .002/.003 .And slide in the lyman gauge perfect.Now I try a hornady factory .223 v-max 55gn round and all 20 are oversize..005/.006.But my rifle shoots dime size at 100yds.with these.My reloads 1. groups???Using lc brass or pmc resizded,cci 400 primer,acc2230 powder and benchmark.same results.All brass is sized ,headspaced 1.450+-.001, trimmed to same size1.750 +-.001 and oal length the same +-.002..?????What gives :confused::mad:
 
What gives is you have just learned that powder voodoo trumps case prep. Google the combo and see what people are using in their ARs. Then pick a powder. You cannot get half minute accuracy with every powder, no matter how much you tune the load.
