[treetop]

Hi,

Looking to sell it...
Unsure as to a good price, & weight for postage ..

Any ideas or offers ???
I have some clip strips & a bandolier as well that I may throw in

Cheers

First thing is establish whether it's Berdan or Boxer primed.

[treetop]

It's Boxer !!
Should have said ....
I throw the Berdan in the metal recycling ...
: )

what make

[treetop]

80+% is RG
the rest looks like LC


There is closer to 1400 in total

RG is generally considered rubbish for reloading, although i do know some people who do.

LC on the other hand is sought after by my friends in the US......

I have reloaded RG fine, & I know of a few past members of my club that liked it ..
I also have friends that won't reload anything other than Lapua
It's what ever floats your boat ..

Nowt wrong with RG 5.56 cases; only pain is removing the primer crimp; I use them all the time for my Mag-length reloads. (Lapua reloads for the out & out Target work).

£5-10 per hundred would be a fair price, in my opinion.

Thanks .... Gives me a good guide,

I find using a countersink drill bit works fine,
oh, and a good primer cleaning tool...

£5-10? Hmmm maybe the stacks in my garage are worth something then!

I reload GGG, there is a thread on a different forum which i cant link to here where a learned reloader went into detail about the what they found wrong with RG! Inconsistent mass, wall thickness. But two things are of note- i guesss the brass quality would differ between the year of the RG and second, how much you really care (and what difference, if any, it makes to the reloads, namely accuracy)

LC is very very good brass, sought after here too so probably worth seperating.

I dont doubt the research, & thanks for the info ....
But , I think the point is....
It's not Lapua, and its certainly not Lapua prices
I am a great believer in everything has it use & purpose ... With this is mind, I would not expect anyone to reload 5.56 ex military cases & use them for bench rest comps...
But, if like me, you enjoy short range shooting, ( gallery, ETR , ect ) & reload, or just wanted some cheap brass.
hey ! Grab yourself a bargin ..

Now in the for sale section !

Hi I reload RG brass for my SGC M16 clone and IMHO it's fine for reloading once you've reamed the primer crimp out. I've been paying £8 per 100 for it plus postage if that helps.

If it has a number on the case head you'd be best sell in batches of 100 wih matching numbers.

If any of it is RG, first thing to establish is it's origin.
