Widow maker 223,
Why don't you post your buldged case picture on the AR forum. I've never seen anything like that, but some of the boys over there may be able to help. Be shure to say what brand of cases, or anything else that might help them.
I was uninformed about the pressure thing untill a few weeks ago. After much research on pressure testing, I was brought to a whole new conclusion. What is posted in most reloading manuals about .223/5.56 NATO about pressure is wrong. It's a shame that most gun writers repeat the same bad information.
.223 and 5.56 NATO are loaded to the same pressure.
I guess it could be possible to jam a long heavy bullet, seated out long, into the lands of a .223, and increase pressure slightly.
