.223 brass???

[zcam630]

When talking about .223 brass. What is the difference between LC and WCC head stamp brass?

Lake City... or Winchester... if not looking for extreme accuracy... load them up all the same. trim to length first though.

lake city will probably be the higher quality brass IMHO

and zack... you need to go join our INGO firemans group.

Nick, I guess you are to busy on here to answer your phone. I called you to ask this question.

By the way I joined the group days ago and even uploaded some pics.

I guess my experience is different from others... LC and WCC are very similar and are both tough military brass. Also very similar in weight. I use them interchangeably for my match ammo for both my AR Service rifle and AR match rifle. I consistantly get 1/2 minute groups at short range (200, 300 yards) with this brass and 75 Hornady BTHP bullets.

WCC and Winchester commercial brass are not the same. Winchester is heavier than WCC and I can only get 2 or three loadings out of it before the primer pocket open up enough to risk a primer falling out during firing.

WCC will have a primer pocket crimp to be removed before reloading. Winchester commercial does not have this crimp.

Hope this helps.

As far as I know, Remington is the only brass without crimped primers. I buy it if I can get my hands on it
