Re: Case Head seperation
The stuff I used was the same 55gn FMJ, but this was eight years ago - so by no means current info. With the crimped primer pockets on the fmj stuff, I can honestly say I wouldn't bother benchloading this type of brass again.

They are a commercial brand as Milsurp would not be stamped .223
The cases were pretty grotty although they had 3 hours in the tumbler, anyway the headstamp is FC 11 223 REM, That's Federal isn't it.

I think I would be having a word with the NRA shop if they sold you them as once fired because they obviously are not in fact they are pretty grotty cases. I would show them the cases and complain bitterly.

They are once fired as the primers were crimped in, I took the chance at £8/100 but will be informing the shop as to the quality issues.Alpha1 wrote:I think I would be having a word with the NRA shop if they sold you them as once fired because they obviously are not in fact they are pretty grotty cases.
