I came in possession of a few thousand pieces of Lake City LR .308 brass with no primer crimp. I cant find a lot of details on the brass and am wanting to know if its worth a darn. It is all once fired from a bolt gun so it has no dings or dents and cleans up very well. Im wanting to make this my primary brass for reloading 308 due to I have an almost unlimited supply of this brass all 09 and 10 headstamp. Any replies or advice is welcome....Thank you and Happy Holidays
It is excellent brass but IS thicker than commercial brass. Decrease your starting load by %10 and work from there. Some don't like it because it has a lower powder capacity, especially compared to Winchester commercial brass, but it is still very high quality.
Ditto what helotaxi said.
Of note, Hodgdon just came out with a new powder - CFE223 (double check that please). Looks like the speed increase in the 223 and 308 is VERY VERY good with this powder.
Exactly. Use it and be happy.Quote:
