[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 666286, member: 39764"] My last buy was 3000 each way and that was 2 years ago. You are right, initial prep is time consuming but after that, other than an ocassional anneal, I have no growth issues or other problems in 308 as well as .223. On the .223 once fired mil spec, most primed brass comes crimped in (so they don't move in full auto magazines). I usually remove the crimp in one of my engine lathes with a MAFord countersink but Dillon Precision makes a dandy bench mounted crimp reformer thats worth the price of admission, have one as well. At one time HSM was loading for the Secret Service and I presume other agency's in I believe Bertram which is their house brass. I tend to shoot HSM in 308 with Bergers or Sierra if I'm not igniting my handloaded LC's. Wideners is my 'go to' for once cycled brass, or Starline or Scharch (Top Brass) depending on availability of components. Wideners is also a C&R dealer, an added plus for those of us who are C&R licensed. [/QUOTE]
