Thanks for the replies everyone!

In regard to the rifle ammo, it would be used in a AR carbine / "Mforgery".
And I just have to ask, as I am a babe in the woods on this...
I've been putting both .223 and 5.56 through my rifle (5.56 chamber). I know about some of the differences, but all of the Lee dies state .223. Can the same die be used for 5.56, or am I looking at a totally diffrent die from another company?
