I am just now getting around to putting together my first AR-15. Not a big fan of them, but figured I'd better get one while I still can.

Since I started handloading a few years ago, I've never bought any factory ammo, but I guess I might for the AR. I never paid any attention to this sort of thing before. IMI is pretty inexpensive ( for cartridges ), is the brass any good for reloading?
