I got really excited about this, but was quickly disappointed. nearly all 223 loads are loaded on the anemic side. my full house 8208 loads look to be within 100 fps of what this new case does. thats not enough for me to give up el cheapo brass and the other ease of using a 223. its too bad I was really hoping for something. IMO a useful step up would be something that has a case compacity similar to the BR case.
