18 headstamp, new LC 5.56 brass in bulk.

 

[grovey]

Good price. Any idea what the h20 capacity is on this brass?

 

[GrocMax]

Same as always, on the high end of 223 capacity, never seen much difference in at least 15 years.

I just ordered 1000. What do I need to do to shoot this in an AR with a .223 Wylde chamber?

But then what would I do with my Dillon Super Swage that I enjoy using so well? LOL

223 wylde shoots exactly the same ammo as 223 rem and 5.55 nato

Why would federal stamp their brass LC?

 

[AckleymanII]

Lake City contracted Fed to make the brass since the plant blew up.

Find some old Lake city 5.56 brass, check the difference in the current stamps.

Where did you get this information?
I have lots of LC brass spread out over lots of years. There are several differences in numbers and letters.

Is there a link somewhere to prove this claim ?

Well, I picked up 1K of them. Don't know if that's good or not.... But, I'm sure I can load them up, & they'll go "Bang"..... I just liked the idea, I didn't have to deal with primer crimps!!!!!!

 

[AckleymanII]

Idaho, I Don't blame you one bit.

Dale boy, do search on the Lake city Plant and the explosion. This search will get you started.

Federal is the sub contractor for Lake City at this time.

I lost pockets in one firing going from new 223 to 223 AI, old once fired lake city would take a dozen firings.
