    ADI brass, primer hole bigger

    The newer ADI .223 brass is coming out with a larger primer hole than the older stuff, has anyone looked into or found any difference using these, or seen any articles relating to the primer hole size ?
    Cheers, Red

    As long as its in the middle, I bent a decapping die rod on an off centre flash hole in an ADI 5.56 case.
    It was so far off, the hole was touching the side of the primer pocket.

    It should say on the packet, or at least mine did. Something like new larger flash hole.
    I'm doing my load again.
    I asked adi what effect this will have on my load. They just said like any change in ammo components re-work your load.

    Yeah, I've just fired off a heap at a fun shoot and realized I hadn't separated them out, so guess I'll have to start again and take more notice
