Is it crimped or just tight primer pocket, and does it have to be loaded like lake city brass.

As with everything... it usually depends upon the weapon it was last fired in. (Or the degree of care the previous owner showed the brass, if they reloaded it.) Last year, I had some problems with Speer brass. A few measurements later, I realised it was bubba'd-up. The brass I had, had been blown out and trimmed to 9x18 Makarov. |
