    You'll probably want to find 120ish grain bullets with a diameter of .310-.312. I'd really have to go check some brass to tell you about the primers though.

      Most brass takes large rifle primers. Hornady make bullets with proper dia. and canalure for this- soft point or FMJ

          There's brass with small primers as well as large, but large is the most common.
          I'm pretty sure remington uses a small primer so make sure to sort your brass into two batches so you don't try to push a large primer into a small pocket!

          The most common bullet is going to be around 123gr.
          THE powder of choice is AA 1680 which will probably be too fast to perform well in 223.
          The larger bore diameter of the 7.62x39 needs a faster powder than the 223 due to bore expansion ratio.
