has anyone ever used PMC brass to reload for the 7.62x39 cartridge? i am just starting to work up a load and am useing PMC brass because i was given 100 of them by a friend. everything went normally until i started priming the cases. the primers were difficult to seat completely. i got them all primed but it was a little tougher than normal. just wondering if there is something different about these PMC cases. thanks for any info....bud

I use 6.5x55 PMC brass and it has been fine and I the primer pockets were fine, some cases have been loaded 3 times and seem fine. Maybe just swage the primer pockets with a primer pocket uniformer and see if that helps.

PMC brass is mil spec so you may have to take the military crimp out of the primer pocket. Luck hotdog

PMC is tough brass, but as Hotdog says it's got a crimped primer pocket that must be swagged out to ever be right.

(Now you know why the guy gave it to you. A lot of folks will throw it away rather than mess with it.)
