Good 308 Brass??

[jcountry]

Wondering what y’all have found for cheap looking ammo which will yield decent reloadible brass for an AR 10?

I have been using LC brass. Has done quite well for me. One thing though, it is tougher to resize than commercial brass. Be sure to lube it well before running into your sizing die. I always full length size the brass for autos.

In my bolt guns, I tend to use Winchester head stamp brass and neck size.

I've one okay with the Turk brass, ZQE or something like that... I assume you mean buy cheap ammo then reload the brass? If just brass, I'd buy milsurp and use a SB die to resize it.

The Prvi brass is good for reloading.

What is the SB die?

If just brass, I'd buy milsurp and use a SB die to resize it.

Small Base. Squeezes the head down another half thousandths. I have to use them for match reamed chambers.

These are some of the best people that I have ever done business with. Good prices, and great customer service.

Normal RCBS dies will work the brass less if you have a normal chamber, but in an 308 AR, 3 or 4 loading is likely all that the brass will last. If you have a tight chamber it may last another firing or 2. I would save more expensive brass for non autoloaders. If you are blasting inside 100 yards, plated bullets can be money savers.

Thanks for the suggestions

Don't forget if you reload military or surplus brass, you will likely need to remove the primer crimp the first time you reload it.

NORMA, LAPUA, is the brass to use not cheap however it's hard to beat...
