PMC Brass: Any Good For Reloading?

[Phil3]

I have a bunch of PMC 223 Remington brass (from PMC Bronze ammo). Is there anything about it I should know before considering reloading it? It shocked the heck out me that this stuff actually shot pretty well in my AR-15, doing better than Blackhills.

Just make sure there is no primer crimp,other than that it is ok brass.

Good tip on the primer crimp. Thanks for your reply.

PMC with 64gr is some of the best round ever for 223. Sweet brass to reload especially after annealing. Exceptional grouping.

phil3: The only problem I had with some earlier (about 5 years ago) PMC 223 brass were the primer flash holes. They were radically off-center, but have not noticed that recently, so maybe they fixed the problem (?)

Not good for ignition, I would think, and they can damage (bend) the decapping rod.

I've loaded quite a bit of it over the years with no issues.

Some of my best groups out of my Rem 700 TAC were with PMC brass.

Hope it is good. I just rec couple hundred.

I've got about 500 .223 in rotation for my AR that seems to do quite well. Did have to pick up a Lee Universal deprimer to pop the primers out.

Years ago I was playing with a Wasp and found that PMC brass weight was the most consistent of the mainstream brands of 30-30. Dunno if that amounts to a hill of beans though.
