Hi Folks,
Not sure this is the right area of the forum to post this but here goes.
I picked up about 100 pieces of once shot .223 brass ( saw the guy shooting it in his black ar type rifle & asked if I can have his empties ..factory PMC not primer crimps) Brass looked great no bulges so I cleaned it up and tried about 30 pieces in my bolt gun without doing any resizing. Bolt closes clean & smooth with no hesitation. I did fl resize a few to see if I felt any difference: they resized very easy and I feel no difference in chambering. So I'm thinking of just neck sizing them and shooting them with modest cast boolit loads ( about 1700 fps)
Does anyone see a problem with that train of thought?
Normally I would have to FL resize any found range brass to get it to chamber on the first loading in my bolt action but once I fire it I just neck size from then on. Annealing the neck every 6th firing
Apparently these PMC factory loads must have been very mild not to have expanded the cases much.
