Does anyone know if the casings are all 100% .223? (no mixed in 5.56)

Once they get reloaded, they’re all .223 regardless of what the headstamps says.

So range brass that is mixed, .223 and 5.56, is all loaded to .223 specs?
But this?

Yup, exactly. It all goes through the same .223 sizing die and trim process.

None of us load 5.56; we load .223 using both .223 brass and 5.56 brass.
