[QUOTE="okietool, post: 1737088, member: 6030"] When I first started reloading, I read an article (?) in some reloading resource (I'm not sure where it was) that cautioned about reloading with military brass. The gist of it was the brass was heavier than commercial brass and would have a higher pressure with a lighter load. The moral was to not load max loads in miltary brass with out working up to them (common sense anyway). My questions are: Is there any tables / information about what a clean unfired case should weigh? (I can't see any other way to check the thickness of brass and not ruin it). Is there any info on which ammo has the heavier (more durable) brass? (Winchester white box, etc.) [/QUOTE]
