Remington yellow box UMC ammo - brass reloadable?

Can you reload this brass? It is headstamped R P. It also looks annealed.

YES , but keep it seperated for your other Remington brass

As it may say UMC , RP or Remington

But the Yellow box stuff is held to a much lower standard

I found this out the hard way

Yes, yes. The yellow box UMC ammo available to us here in Switzerland has brass headstamped RP - just like any other Remington brass. I have loaded some of the .223 Rem multiple times, and have yet to see any differences compared to regular RP brass.
