This is cheap ammo that i found, its boxer primed, and its better than paying $20 a box for .303

i want to know if anyone has had experience reloading this brass or if it is worth trying. will it stand up to multiple resizing? (only neck sizing though. no full length for me!)

Works good for my 96 Swede (6.5 x 55)! Big Grin

I reload it all the time in pistol calibers. Once in a while, the entry radius on the primer pockets is a little sharp and makes primer seating difficult. No problem, just change the radius with a tool meant to remove military primer pocket crimps.

Otherwise, it it very decent brass.

In 303 it'll do.

I don't like it in 6.5 X 55 as they use the right cases and I prefer the wrong ones by Winchester.

S & B loads just fine.

1) S&B shotgun shells have bastard primer pockets.

2) S&B 7.62x54R ammo have semi bastard primer pockets, but is hot and accurate.

3) S&B 7.62x25mm Tokarev ammo brass is stronger than Starline brass, but can split necks. It is loaded hot and accurate.

What does it all mean?
S&B is good cheap ammo, but sometimes not so great for reloading.
