What are people's opinion on 223 brass? What's best for value for money, but is still quality.
I've bought ex mil stuff before and wrecked a die popping primers out.
So not interested there.
Cheers

I buy Hornady Training Ammo (Brass cased) and just keep the brass. Can get them for just under $1 per round when buying bulk, and its good brass.
Exactly what I do.Quote:

Have had good results with adi. Mostly run ex mil
I've got a mix of Hornady training, Winchester and ex Mil (RG) stuff. I bought the Lee decapping die as it is a lot stronger than the sizing die decapping pin set ups. If there is a bit of resistance I back off and double check the flash hole count.Quote:

if your real worried buy a lee full length size die as the collect system at the top will give (slide up through the screw) before the de-caping pin breaks then all you have to do is losen the screw and reset the pin hight and your good to go
We've just got a new gunshop in Motueka and he quoted me $790/1000 rnds american eagle fmj with brass cases, would buy 1000 if I wasn't planning to get a 22lr AR15
What do ppl think of the bulk .223 lake city once fired brass?
LC is good brass, I have heaps and it reloads well.
I've got a heap of the Hornady training brass and some Norma too. Happy with both.
+1 training brass

Do the adi brass that you buy new have crinkled primer pockets?

Disregard the above question. I obviously want thinking before.
