Where to get a hold of lake city LR .308 brass?

[Tomekeuro85]

Is there any outlet for new LC LR 308 brass? I've searched the internet and what not, i've only found once fired.

Once fired is fine too, but thats not available anywhere I looked either.

Anyone know where to get some?

Thanks for the info on the LR brass. Just received my second box of 500 cases. All cases in excellent once fired condition and polished as advertized. Free shipping was nice and got 1000 cases at .15 cents apiece. Checked with another brass vendor and they advertize at .35 a case.

Is it mixed or similar headstamps and no crimp?

Mine was mixed, and all LR no crimp.

Mine were about half and half LC05 and LC06, all LR, all in great condition and polished, no crimp.

My first box of 500 were about 90% LC 05 with the remainder 06. Next box of 500 were about half 05 and the rest 06, all cases marked LC 05 LR or 06 with no crimp. All excellent condition.
Glad for the great price, will start loading them up with some SMK's after deer season.

For those who bought the once fired LC Brass. Did you measure the headspace and how did it look? I'd be worried it had come out of a machine gun... Yikes!

LR is Long Range as in M118LR, and it isn't linked. It COULD be fired from a Machine Gun. But then they would have to either shoot one at a time, or link them prior to shooting, and there isn't much of this LR compared to the normal Ball variety so it is HIGHLY doubtful that it came from an MG. It probably came from a M24, M40, Mk11, or an M14 EBR.

Whats the deal with the knurling on LC brass? Should it be of any concern?

The knurling on LC brass indicates that it is MATCH brass (M-852) and is for "non combat use only" (hey that's what the boxes say

) It has no effect on it's longevity as M-852 is all I use in my bolt gun and I have several batches of brass with in excess of 40 reloads.

Cheers,

Doc

The LR brass isn't knurled. Its good brass,not MG brass.

I found 500 pieces of the LC08 (IIRC) once fired that was posted on AR15.com. Bought for $50 shipped. Haven't seen that before or since, but I guess it comes up fro time to time. The American Marksman site is a great find, thanks!

Jeff Bartlett show it back in stock @40/100, so not cheap

Or the Special Ball Long Range, loaded by Federal might also be of interest.
