Hoarding brass

[USMARINE1108]

I now have brass for 25 cartridges that I don't reload for. 23 of those, I don't even own a firearm chamberd for.

I've got a lot of work to do!

I have a 5 gallon bucket of .223 if you are interested.

I am guessing these have crimped primer pockets (military brass??) If not, someone who reloads (I used to, but don't have room in my APT anymore) should snap this up with a quickness!!

Military brass is reloadable with the right tool (couple of bucks). Once you get the crimped primer out and re-prime, it's just like any other brass. Good stuff too.


What kind of brass is it?

If it's military brass the head will be stamped with a

- LC
- a circle with a + in it
- a year stamp, like 05 (2005), 01, 03, something like that.

Oh, of course, it's just more of a pain in the ass than commercial. And you can't load military as hot because the case walls are generally thicker, so you can't get as much powder in, lol. No biggie if you're just shooting it out of an AR, but for my TC handgun and prarie dog towns, I HAVE to use commercial to get the best velocity

Most manuals recommend decresing your powder charge 3% when using military brass. That still leaves plenty to consistantly put a 69gr bullet into the X ring at 600 yards. If you're shooting a lighter varment bullet, you can still get a few hundred ft/sec out of military brass over match factory loads.

My uncle reloads, if you have any thing from a 30-30, 44 mag, 41, 300 win mag, 22-250,... cant remember the others, mostly big bore pistol stuff though. He competes in metalic silouet shooting.
