Loading at the top end FPS, on average how many reloads do you get from SSA brass, (5.56)?

Is it pretty good stuff? Better or worse than LC for the 5.56?

Consistent weights per case? Primer pockets etc???

Not sure about SSA but I do know if you want your brass to last you need to run mild loads. All primer pockets, regardless of brand, will wear out quick if you are chasing pressure signs. Wear on your barrel will also increase with hot ammo. It's hard not to want that extra 100fps but what does it actually get you? You may have a little less elevation to dial and a tad bit less wind drift but not enough to make a difference. I have heard good things about SSA, I'm sure it's good quality stuff. The only .223 brass I trash is federal and you pretty much don't see it that often. Heck, even federal doesn't always use federal brass.

LC has worked the best for us over years.... run not real hot, 25 plus loadings.

Run hot, 10-15 pretty easy.

RE extra 100 fps, it worsk for competition. For hunting and such its not needed IMHO.
