Small review of steel case 223/5.56 ammo with hard primers

[ssgrock3]

That’s what I got in all my guns but the piston Lwrc that I haven’t ran it in. Good info to know. Thanks for the review

Steel-cased stuff gives me no problems at all in my CZ 527. Of course, it's designed around it, too.

Looks like that extended firing pin flat put the punch to those primers.

It could be my eyes or possibly camera tricks but it looks like the fail to fire ammo got dented well but
the thing I am seeing is the primer looks to be seated deeper after the FTF.
maybe the anvil in the primer is not touching the bottom of the primer pocket and therefore needs a longer firing pin to set them off.
Reloading ammo sucks to a point. But I do not ever get FTF with my reloads and they are stupid accurate which puts the fun back into shooting.
I never did go shooting just to go through hundreds of rounds of ammo though. Unless it was a brass fail test.

Primers were set a little deep to begin with,and were getting fairly good dents from the initial strike.
I think the extended FP penetrates about .006 IIRC.

Thank you for testing and the good info. Although I currently don't shoot steel cased ammo, it is useful info to have. I apologize for the snobby replies.
