I use to own a small indoor range. Whenever I would see someone shooting factory ammo in one of my personal calibers, and then walk out and leave it I would pick it up and save it. Since my Windham AR is 223 only I recently separated the 556 and 223 brass. It appears that I have numerous brass head-stamped 223 REM that have crimped primers. What gives? I didn't think anybody had made any 223 military in a lot of years. Decades actually. Now I have to go back through and separate my 223 crimped brass from the standard. Just curious if this is a common thing I wasn't aware of.

I have Federal American Eagle and some PMC 223 that has the primer crimped.

I have quite a few Remington 223 cases that had crimped primers. They seem to go either way.

It seems many of the commercial loaders also had some military contracts and decided it was more efficient to just crimp everything instead of spending the downtime switching back and forth. As a result, much of the once fired from popular commercial brands is now crimped.
