Hello all,
Well this weekend went out to the inside range since it's been HOT!!!!!!!!!!
I finally bought some factor ammo 55 gram USA brass. Saved all 20 rounds and came home de-prime them. Once done I measured the brass and it measured at
1.4585.
Like i mention in the passed I have always picked up range brass with different brass stamps. After de-priming and cleaning the old range brass I started to measure. I was notice about 30 rounds the headspace was pushed back .006 to .007 (1.452.0)
From my understand on .223 you only want to bump headspace .003 or .004 . Going higher will cause some issue . I tried looking online and reading but haven't found someone having issue issue with used brass being .006 up to .007.
Does that mean that brass is no good anymore?
If anyone has any feedback please let me know.
Thank you,
