[QUOTE="KurtM, post: 943848, member: 6064"] Bronze is made by a South african company, Gold made By Korean I believe. Now here is the catch, the S.A. brass is VERY heavy and in being, it's case volume is MUCH lower than the "orriginal" Gold line. I don't remeber the weights right off the top of my head, but it would be a good idea to weigh a few of your PMC cases against say a G.I. case or Commercial case. If they are about the same (within 2-5 grains) load like usual. If they are around 15 grains heavy reduce your load AT LEAST A GRAIN!, or you will be picking spent primers out of your lower and having a failed case or two. A quick way to tell is that the head stamp of the S.A. stuff is smaller. The Gold has a very definite Crimp and bigger stamped writing on the case head, and uses a very red colored primer sealer.
