Can someone educate me on the difference between military vs. civilian brass?
Specifically .308 caliber. How to tell the difference at a glance. I believe military cases are thicker walled but don't really know, and are the primer pockets "crimped" on all military brass?
Is load data different when using military brass?
If primer pockets are "crimped" does that automatically make it military? I've seen a red color around them also. I've read about various ways of taking out the "crimp" in past posts but do some of these cartridges get sold to the public or are the just military issue?
Any links would be appreciated in my quest to better understand.
Thanks in advance,
Slim
