Advise needed on military brass for .308

tkofoid · October 11, 2008, 04:32 PM

I own 300 + military brass with "T W" "69" headstamp in the .308 caliber. I believe it was formed in the Twin Cities. I am wondering if anyone has had any experience with these. They are very re-loadable but I do not want to go through the work of de-priming if they won't be quality brass and produce very accurate rounds. Thanks for any input.

I have it and I use it for hunting loads. It works just as good as any other brass but I also have match brass for bench work. I have a preference to military brass for hunting and bench work. The ball ammo brass I've found as good as any commercial brass but lasts much longer. Do your case prep just like you would for a bench gun with flash hole prep a must and shoot it. You'll find it to be the equal or better to any commercial brass regardless of price.

Thanks for the reply Loader9.
I shoot a 308 in a rem. VSF and shoot mainly for accuracy.
I, too, like milsurp brass, mostly LC. It's tuff and accurate. I simply have'n't prepped this TW stuff. I will give it a whirl! With Winter com'n on ,it will give me something to pass time.
