New Winchester 223 brass ?

[Rsadams]

Is this good brass for reloading?

The last bag I bought I took back it was horrible , it was scratch up even.... It looked like some one used a shovel to scoop it up off the concrete to bag it.... There's plenty of brass for .223 out there.... Starline , lake city , sig , Peterson etc etc etc... I use lake city because it's crimped primer so you know it's once fired and since I use it in the m4 platform it doesn't matter.... Try it out , there plenty of choices.... Really price is what it comes down to for me so Lapua is out....ARs throw them and tear up brass so much I just shoot whatever...

Not that long ago a lot of reloading manuals used Winchester brass for their loads. It used to be decent brass. Lately their QC has gone to crap. I think they hired blind guys for the final visual inspections.

Win is running LC in name only. They have nothing to do with the actual plant operations other than managment.

Even when winchester runslake city they still make winchester brass in their normal factory and the lake city brass is still made in the lake city factory on the same machines by the same folks no matter who has the current contract

I thought about that after I posted.
Yes, the 5.56 brass will be Mil-Spec, whereas the .223 may not be.

I bought some Winchester 32-20 brass because I had an empty Winchester 32-20 box and some of the Speer 100 grain bullets, needless to say I was disappointed in the brass.
