Yes those are the right bullets. Please consult reloading manuals and know what you're doing before you start loading.

No Problem, I have been loading .45ACP & 40S&W for about 8-10 years.

First thing you need to do is check the powder HODGDON does not make a powder called H-334. The correct powder is H-335 and is one of the best powders for the 5.56.

The bullet size is .223" - .224"

No problem I just wanted you to read the reloading manual a little closer to keep you out of trouble.

I have been reloading since 1958.
