Military '06 brass
I have accumulated a large quanity of this over the years but have never used it.
It is all boxer primed and seems heavier than the commerical stuff.
Generally speaking is it good quality and worth reloading or should it be sold/traded off?


My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

It's supposed to be some of the best of the best. You'll have to ream or swage out the primer crimp --a small task-- and lot it according to head stamp if you want to get your best accuracy but it's good stuff. Back off your load about 10% until you see how it goes because as a rule you'll find it's heavier than commercial brass.

thumbYes it is worth reloading. Segragate as stillbeeman suggests. If older than "54" aneal. fishingroger


Old age is a high price to pay for maturity!!! Some never pay and some pay and never reap the reward. Wisdom comes with age! Sometimes age comes alone..
