[QUOTE="westcliffe01, post: 793135, member: 35183"] Kevin, this had been loaded, but had the bullets pulled and powder dumped out. Perhaps it did not meet the accuracy requirement as originally loaded or was "timed out" ? Widenrs doesn't mention it being LR brass, maybe I just got lucky ? They also say the primers are crimped.
