Win primed military brass at Midsouth?

[JAlfred]

Has anyone tried it? How consistent is it?

This brass is different than standard WIN headstamped brass and is Mil-Spec. Stamped WMA it appears to come from the Oxford MS plant. It is interesting that they used standard LRP and then crimped it in, unless this brass was intended for M118 Special Ball Long Range Mk316 Mod 0 or a later version which did not use #34 primers. The Mk316 was originally made by Federal and used Federal Cases which the 175SMK and extruded powder (IMR 4064) and FGMM LR primers. That was when Federal was running Lake City which is now being run by Winchester.

5.56 and 308 available. Curious if anyone has evaluated this brass. My primary interest is the 5.56.


The fact the primers are Winchester and recent history, I am disinclined.

I fought with brass that had crimped primer pockets one too many times a few years ago. I'd rather spend a little extra and not putz around with that stuff anymore. Not worth it to me.
