[QUOTE="Pointman, post: 1858229, member: 102254"] I agree with those who mentioned Lake City. Years ago when I was loading a custom 25-06, there was little to no actual 25-06 brass available. I was running the surplus LC brass that I got at a (now forbidden in California) gun show through my trim die to form the neck shoulder. After reaming the primer crimps I started my load process. I did notice that before reaching the max load range, the powder, IMR 4350. Was right at the base of the necks. The big benefit I did find with surplus military LC brass was longevity. I finally retired that batch of brass after a dozen loads, mostly de to split necks. Thinking about it now, perhaps the brass was so robust was because the 30-06 was used in the M1 Garand’s, belt-fed light machine guns and the indomitable B.A.R.’s. [/QUOTE]
