Yep! If you're working with reloads, I would case gauge them.

Problems with 223 reloads?

Resolved, too light on the crimping
I followed up with the store manager and we looked at several of the bullets from the batch. Compared em to some stock 556 m193 and some factory 223...looked fine, Until you ran a finger over the crimp on the bad ones.
Just a little too light on the crimping where the case did not taper like the factory 556/223s. You could barely see it but could definitely "feel" it with your finger pad. That was enough to cause multiple issues; loose bullet, ftf, etc. the case would just hang up on the m4 feed ramps of my barrel ( which are nicely cut).
Long story short, the manager Dustin, promptly stood behind his store's product
and gave me a full refund and this AR noob wil be more attentive in the crimps of any 223 reloads.
