[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 754152, member: 10178"] If you can get military MATCH brass it will work great. The primers in match brass are not crimped in. The reason that you need to back off about 1 gr of powder is because the cases are thicker and hold less powder and thus have less volume and pressure runs up. It will give you the same velocity but with less powder. Much of the regular military 7.62X51/308 brass has been fired in a machine gun and they have really stretched and thus don't last all that long for reloading. You must remove the crimp around the primer pocket. You really need to get you a Lee hand punch for removing the primers because the crimp is tough on some and it WILL BREAK your de-capping pin in your size die. [/QUOTE]
