I have lots of once fired 223 brass for mod700 varmint. Just ordered an AR15, do I need small base dies for the ARs or can I use the regular full length resizing dies? You only need small base dies if. . . well, if you need small base dies. If extraction becomes a problem, small base dies are a quick fix, but I' wouldn't go looking for trouble until it found me. N'est pas? Oh, extraction is never a problem with used brass.

I scrounge used brass at our small town range.It is mostly new fresh out of the factory box.If I see guys dropping brass from a reloaders box ,I put it in my box for selling to the scrap metal yard.
Its all right to be white!! Stupidity left unattended will run rampant Don't argue with stupid people, They will drag you down to their level and then win by experience

The methods and practices of the guy doing the reloading enter into the "used brass" equation as well.

I've gotten by for 20 years not encountering the problem.
