    Reloading military brass

    Hey guys,
    So I've heard so many arguments about the differences between 223 and 5.56, and 7.62x51 and 308 (military vs non military stuff). Talking about case thickness, increased pressure etc etc and how there's a difference. Yet I've also heard many people say it's a load of crap and if you can get the military primers out of the brass initially, you can load it up as it's no different.

    I was wondering what your take is on it? (if you know) in the context of reloading, is there any real difference (other than having a tough primer to get out) between say, Remington 308 brass and this military stuff.

    I've just got a few hundred once fired, resized, deprimed and cleaned bits of military 308 brass. Ready to load. Is there anything I have to watch out for?
