223 Brass ?

[Maggiesdraws]

Anyone using Starline for 223, what do you think of it? How does it stack up with Win. and Rem. brass capacity wise? Thanks in advance.

Baddog, Already looked at that and that's why I asked the question because Starline was not included. Didn't want to buy Starline and find out it's not that useful for what ever reason. Figured I would put the question out there and get informed info. Thanks

I bought a bag of 250 and converted 100 to 20P. I will list the capacities below. Seemed like good brass, I would probably buy the 5.56 brass next time for the harder case heads. Necks are thicker like Lapua but not as uniform. Primer pockets nice and tight. Last bag of Winchester I bought the pockets were very loose new out of the bag.

What I was looking for, thank you.

Lake City is excellent brass, with highest capacity as well. You can buy once fired, cleaned, sized, and even primed. Fire form and it will do well. I use it for practice and Lapua for comp, and really can't tell a difference in Fclass.

I recently bought some LC17 processed brass. Did not/do not weigh cases, and am using these for a standard 223 as well as currently fireforming loads in a 223 AI. I am impressed with the accuracy of the FF loads in both rifles. I do have some Lapua that I plan to compare, but am VERY happy with the results thus far. 200 lapua cases for 110 bucks, one thousand LC processed for 120 bucks. I'm frugal or cheap, your choice, but if they meet my accuracy needs, I'll opt for little fanfare and economy.
