    What's this brass like

    I found some 7.62 brass that I forgot about.
    Just wondering if after amp annealing these would be fine for general shooting sports.

    Greetings,
    Being made in Europe it may be quite heavy so may need a lighter load for the same performance. Made by FN in Belgium. Check for Berdan primer.
    Regards Grandpamac.

    Some of it is boxer primed some Berdan. The boxer primed stuff is really just OK for plinking or goat shooting ammo. Not uncommon for flash holes to be way off centre.
