Gentlemen,
Can somebody educate me or send me to a link explaining some of the LC and other headstamps on military brass? For years, I have seen guys pay a premium for certain years of Lake City brass. I think the general consensus was the quality and toughness of the Lake City brass vs other 223/556 brass. Is that still the case? If so, what years are considered the better brass?
Does anybody have any experience loading brass marked LC 223? Is this LC brass built to a lesser spec than the other LC brass intended for 556 pressure loads?
I recently purchased a couple thousand primed cases of factory loaded pull down brass. Mixed headstamps with a small percentage of commercial 223 brass but most marked 556. Been sorting by headstamp with intensions of loading in large groups for my bolt action prairie dog and ground squirrel shoots with all of the odd stuff loaded for the AR.
Sharing your knowledge would but much appreciated.
Thanks
Scott
