[QUOTE="Turpentine21, post: 2906598, member: 124909"] I'm still using 7.62 brass from the 60's. WCC 61 and 63, and Lake City match 67. I also use LC 81 and 85 match and a bit of LC 84 standard brass. Plus a smattering of LC 30-06 match. I've learned a lot about working with brass using the LC stuff. Like turning necks, annealing by hand, reaming primer crimps. It's tough stuff and I'm a bit sentimental with it. It'll shoot if you put the time into it. I had tons of 60s vintage loading manuals and info. Herters wads, and Primed Winchester Ranger paper hulls in the original box. Plus lots of other vintage equipment, loaders etc. A freak 1000 year flood in 2015 unfortunately got a lot of that stuff. The water rose so fast I simply couldn't get it all in time. One of the questions was if you stopped loading a caliber, why. I quit with 7.62x39 because my son has the AK and I had hoped he would take an interest in loading for it instead of just letting me do it. Also, after I built a 6.5 Grendel I rarely load 223/5.56 anymore. 5.56 is just not one of my favorite calibers and I have little use for it Any more. [/QUOTE]
