Reloading Lake City Match brass
 Login/Join

I just picked up a batch of LC "Match" brass. I've never worked with the stuff before, but I'm generally familiar with the need to scale back charges due to reduced case volume and the need to ream or swage primer pockets when using military brass. I'm unclear whether this applies to Match brass- do they use thicker brass or crimped primers, or is it comparable to commercial brass?

I find the LC brass to be close to Rem brass in capacity.

One of the few ways "match brass" differs from standard is that there is no primer crimp. Lake City and most other mil surp brass does have a thicker cross section.
It is not magic brass, just less work to reload the first time.
