PMC Brass?

twopatch · May 12, 2010, 11:02 PM

Hello everyone, I just picked up a new riffle.its a CZ550 in 6.5x55 swede. I can find PMC brass on line for about .28 if I buy 500. Has anyone Used the Rifle brass? Or any other PMC rifle brass?

I've used 22-250 PMC Brass it was approximately .001" thicker at the neck than my Winchester Brass, maybe it was that particular lot (.0145"~.015"). In my case that was not a bad thing, since I had a liberal neck dimension from the factory.

Hi,
I have about 50 cases that a kind soul left at the range

Normally I use Federal cases, but I tested a couple of my "pet" loads with the PMC and the groups were just as good (3/4 MOA was the best, and IMO it is acceptable)

If this is all you can find and they are reasonably priced go for them.

BTW, I use a Remington 700 in 30-06.

Brgds,

Danny

Dad had problems getting 243 PMC brass to size. But he is using a hand loader not a press. I have tons of PMC in 45 ACP and it loads great. I would small lot of it like 20 or 50 and try it.

Ive got about 6,000 PMC cases in .308 Winchester it's mil spec brass so it has less volume then commerical brass. So i keep the Max load load about 2 grians less, but it has never given me any problums but it has produced some real tight groups for me

I have reloaded 223 PMC many times over and it's still hanging in there. It seems to be as durable as any other I've tried. I reload just to plink, so brass longevity is most important to me. I can't speak to group size, consistency, etc. Not really my cup O' tea.

cool,I might just,pull the trigger,"excuse the pun". The Europen stuff is 1-.75 per case. the Win-Rem is about .50 . I guess , We will see how this Korean stuff turns out. .28 cents is hard to resist!
