Is there any real significant difference between LC Match brass or std LC brass.

Like the title says , any real difference or is it just head stamped to ID it from the std LC Brass?

I think one difference is that standard LC brass has crimped primers and match brass doesn't.

Regular LC brass was fired through a machine gun, machine guns index off the links for headspace, as well as have the primers crimped.
It requires just a bit more to size an work.
LC Match brass has vertical ridges towards the base of the case, used in M1A style rifles as well as bolt guns, loaded with Sierra 168
LC LR brass is the same M1a, Bolt guns. these where loaded with Sierra 175's
neither of the last two have crimped primers and are extremely durable although thick brass meaning less powder to get the same pressure

Thanks ! I know it has probably been asked a million time but when I googled it I didn't get the answer I wanted. That's why this forum is the best.

Jon not all standard LC brass has been fired through machine guns, there a bunch of it that is used in bolt guns and the M14 variants for training, it and the WCC stuff can make fine ammo if you wish to spend the little extra time taking care of the crimp.
