Still available, just ordered mine.

Just placed my order as well, but is this a good deal? (Sorry. New to the reloading game.)

Figure the primer worth 3 cents so your paying 10 cents per case. That's not bad for new brass.

I couldn't tell, but does the brass have a primer crimp?

Looks like they have. Factory Wolf Gold 223 have crimped primer pocket.

 

[hemicharger]

Good to know, thanks

 

[corngrower]

Just ordered a case.

Hope you aren't looking for discrete packaging. It showed up on my porch the other day clearly advertising the contents. =) I guess with all the hazmat (powder) packages that show up, I'm not fooling anyone.

I'm splitting one of these in half with a buddy... He's paid for discrete packaging before and he says the delivery guy always knows what it is anyways... I'd guess they handle enough stuff it's not too hard for them to know.

 

[corngrower]

Not too worried about discreet shipping. All.my packages get shipped to a business address sonwe have inside drop off from UPS. Fed ex on the other hand will dump outside in the rain and never ring the buzzer.

loaded some up tonight with IMR 4064.
Hope to get to the range with my Savage in the next day or two to see how they do in it.

Cool! Let us know.. It'll be awhile before I load up and shoot any.

 

[bocefus78]

Cool diesel! Interested to see how they do. I hate making press changes, so until I'm done loading my 1500 remaining 62 grain pills, these will sit.

Made a quick trip to the range today, several groups under 1" at 100 yards, shooting from a bench with a bipod. If I had bags (and warmer weather) would probably be a little tighter.

Savage Axis II, 22" barrel, 1/9 twist
mixed headstamp brass processed & primed by someone else, cases were irregular length & blew 3 primers .
light crimp

Ran from 23.0 gr to 25.4gr. tightest groups were 23.6, 23.8 & 24.8 of 1" or less

I am going to run some with some 1x fire formed brass neck sized only to see how they do, I suspect it will be better.
Also going to do another batch to run through my PSA 16" carbine 1/7. If those turn out this good I will probably load a bunch up for AR food.

Thanks for the report... What kind of powder are you running? Just curious. I'm planning on using all of these for ar shooting anyhow most of the other junk I load up that's not "plinking" is heavier grain anyhow.

 

[bwframe]

Thank you for the loading info. I'm curious on the powder also.
I didn't expect that kind of accuracy. Makes me wonder if ordering another case should be considered?


Got mine today:

See his post at the top of Page 4, he's using IMR 4064. It doesn't go through most powder measures all that well, but with hand weighed charges it is capable of exceptional accuracy. A lot of ammo fired at the National Matches uses IMR 4064 (30-06, 308, and 223; it's quite versatile).

IMR 4064, using my new chargemaster

these are the best 2 groups;

Thanks , I'll try to pay closer attention.

 

[bocefus78]

Good! Seems like for a nickel, these are a very good value. Now I am considering another case. Can't have too many, right?
Thanks for reporting back!
