    Lake City 7.62 brass quality

    How does the LC brass measure up as far as quality? I know it's not Lapua but how does it compare with Winchester for example? With a little work can this be used for precision shooting? I'm not looking for F Class accuracy.

    brass getting crushed during bullet seating

    I was trying to reload some 300 Blackout subsonic ammo last night. I had to stop after 3 rounds because the bullet seating die (from RCBS FL die set # 22401) started crushing the cartridge in the neck area. The deformation was uniform, almost like the shell was too long, so I don't think it was...

    Hmmm.... M80 pull down brass from GRAFs

    Looking at picking up some more brass and this came across my radar. https://www.grafs.com/retail/catalog/product/productId/26972 Thoughts? Sure its using mil spec primers, but, can't be that far off for what I need. (1MOA or less) I might try sorting brass on weight to see if matters.

    Signs of Brass Nearing the End of its Reloading Life?

    Are there any subtle hints that can tell you (as a reloader) that the brass you've been loading for a while is done? Besides the obvious blown case, or cracks at the case mouth. Could you see scoring or discoloration and determine that this case has seen the end and give it a toss? I've...

    %%Uhut-Oh, Did I ruin this brass?%%

    Wondering about the safety of using this brass. Not THAT big of a deal, it's 13% of a batch of 3000 range brass I bought to load plinkers with. It was in REALLY bad shape when I got it. I experimented with different ways to clean it up. I vibrated some in walnut shells, some I tumbled in...

    Lapua versus Norma Brass

    Some time ago, I bought some .308 Norma Match because I wanted the brass and someone had a decent price on it. Shot very well, puts FGMM to shame. Anyway, processing some 1 X shot brass today and I noticed that the Norma has no visible trace of being annealed. The Lapua, of course, does...

    Quality problems with new Lapua brass?

    In quite a few years of using Lapua products, I've never experienced a problem. However, priming new Lapua 6.5-284 cases with Federal 210M primers using a hand priming tool, some of the primers went in so easily that there was absolutely no felt resistance. Other cases had normal resistance...

    Changing brass - Do I need to rework the entire load?

    Hi guys, I have a question about hand loading. Finally, after much labor, I have developed a hand load that gets a certain gas gun to hold 1/2 MOA. All of the load data and experimentation was done with Remington brass, but now much of that brass has passed it's useful lifespan. Now that...

    FL vs Neck Sizing...Truth or Myths?

    i recently had a talk with a reloading buddy i trust and when we got to talking about dies, he was shocked to hear that i use a fl sizing die to reload my 308. i shoot a bolt gun and was under the impression that bumping the shoulder back .002 was normal. he said that i could possibly be over...

    Marking your brass???

    Anyone have any tips or tricks to marking your brass to identify it among others? I usually use a fine tip sharpie and write the number of load on the primer. (when I load brand new brass I write a "1" on it, the next time a "2", etc. etc.) This tends to work better for just keeping track of the...

    I was digging through my reloading gear and I came across around 250 lake city pieces of .308 <span style="font-weight: bold">match brass</span> with a date stamp of 72. My joy turned to sorrow when I realized that every piece had been resized down to 6mm. I have no idea where this brass came...

    Norma .223 brass weighing differently between lots

    Howdy, I have been reloading .223 for over two years now, using the same 100 Norma brass. I ordered another hundred a few months ago and another 100 just a week ago. I weigh each case and my old brass weighs around 101 grains, the two new batches weigh around 93 grains. Does anyone know what...

    Brass Hardness

    I am wondering whose brass has the hardest these days. Interested in 308 and 22-250. I know it has varied over the years. I have some early Federal in 7Mag and 22-250 that is not only harder but case weight is lighter, as opposed to recent manufacture. Any one have the inside dope, on this??
