[QUOTE="g0rd0, post: 1359420, member: 44168"] since you are new to reloading you should toss those into a box and put it aside for a couple of years. A good host of people will tell you to knock those primers out, remove the crimp and carry on. They are right, AND WRONG. Before you load any military brass you need to understand that not only is the primer crimped, the brass is heavyer (thicker), on the web. Why, the military wants the brass of all rifle rnds able to be attached to a belt. Witch means that the web has to be stronger and that reduces the case capacity. A reduced case capacity can and will increase preasure with the same load that you want to use weather it be 223, 300 blackout or what ever. I advise that you separate all of your brass into brands and only load in 1 brand. When you up the neck of a 223 to 308 size an annealing would be advisable. welcome to reloading always refere to published data annnnddd start low and work up. [/QUOTE]
