Wow. That's $140 a thousand for unprocessed brass off a military range, that we've already paid for once. I feel real old remembering $40/k cleaned and processed. I also feel stupid for not having picked up every .223 case I could over the last 30 years.

DON'T BUY IT. MINE JUST CAME IN. NOT WORTH THE MONEY. DAMN PRIMERS ARE CRIMPED AND I CAN SEE AT LEAST 10 DESTROYED CASES RIGHT OFF THE BAT.

It's LC nato brass. I thought the primers were supposed to be crimped.

Pretty much self explanitory.

Don't be a smart aleck. I was trying to save members some hassle. No where in that does it state primers are crimped. And I know it was sold as-is I am not stupid.

Personally I don't mind the crimp. Most guy's pass on it so it's alway's cheaper.
The local PD here uses Winchester headstamped ammo and it's all crimped, so no one want's it so no one pick's it up,except me.

You know Love, probably me myself and I. I've been hassling with my 80 year old dads stuff that the movers busted all to hell when they brought it here from N.C. and I was just in a bad mood that day.

VERY SORRY if I offended anyone.......................but don't buy the brass (it's gone now anyway) unless you want to deal with the crimped primers.

I pick up that brass at a local outdoor range, out of the dirt and mud.Some of it's prestine other's not so much.
After reloading my fill I now have 2/3 of a garbage can full of this brass going to the recycler's when the snow melt's. But I'll be back out there to "recycle" what I can.
