I have heard of quality control issues with the priv partisan brass before. I have used priv partisan range brass before with no issues. I have found that the current stuff is a bit thin and a great deal of deviation in weight from piece to piece. I dont think I would ever use it for bench or hunting but for plinking, its not bad.

I have quite a bit of Fiocchi that I picked up at my club range. Flash holes for the most part are off center.

Found Fiocchi .223 brass had very undersized primer pockets - it was a pain.

And it wasn't crimped military brass.

tu2I guess I've just been lucky with both.
Slightly small (not crimped) primer pockets are just fine with me. patriot roger
