222 Speer DWM Brass -- I Think I Scored!!

[jds holler]

I picked these up on another forum for what I think was a very good deal. They are 1967 vintage, all the same, unfired, new brass. Looks like nice stuff. Made in Holland. Got 140 of them.

I don't know if brass standards back then were on par with our modern stuff, but I'm betting these will be just fine. I can't wait to start a few basic checks for weight and capacity consistency.

This will be necked down for my 20-222. All the brass I've used so far has been Winchester or Remington, mostly older stuff -- a lot of it having been used as 222 before I put this 20 cal together. I also have a hundred new Lapua 222's that I've never tried.

All together, this will probably get me up to a lifetime supply of brass for this rifle, considering what I already have. jd

Look like great quality brass.

I would check the H2O capacity just to be on the safe side.

I guess I've lived in a kinda back-water part of the country, but even still, I've been reloading since the early seventies. I don't ever recall seeing this stuff around. Heck I've been shooting 222 since the late seventies, and always had my eyes open for brass. It must be kind of odd on this side of the ocean I guess. jd

I'm still shooting 2 boxes of this stuff from the same time frame. Bought from a little country gunshop in a fellers garage when I got my Savage 340 in 222Rem. Savage is long gone but the brass remains feeding my baby Sako.
