I have some once fired brass and noticed while prepping a difference. The pic is in order left to right W-W Super/R-P/Browning/PMC/FC. Notice the middle one (Browning) is shorter and neck shoulder angle is different. Is this normal for Browning brass? I have also noticed this with Browning in 7mm Rem Mag. Are these ok to load and use? What is the scoop. I tried to get a pic here hope it worked. NRA Life Member | ||

No photo appears, but if the brass was all fired in the same chamber then it should have the same external shape. If fired in different chambers then it will take the shape of those individual chambers and may have varying dimensions from base-to-shoulder or have a slightly different shoulder shape. I take it from your description that the brass was fired in different guns, thus the slight variance in the shape. To fire it in a gun other than that in which it was originally fired will likely require full length sizing (and trimming the length back to within tolerance.) | |||

Belted mags do not care where or what shape the shoulder is as long as it will chamber; FL size, shoot, and ignore the shoulder. (Although I like the shoulders to touch but that is beyond the scope of your question.) | |||

If the shoulder is wavy (for lack of a proper term) its caused by too much lube & makes no diff. in loading. | |||

Upload the photo to a picture hosting service like postimage.org (or similar). Then paste a link to the photo into your post on Accurate Reloading. | |||
