    For what it's worth. Brass is worth as much as people are prepared to pay for it!!!!!!!!!!........Norinco brass......you may be lucky and find someone willing to pay up[ to £10/100; probably not!! Most once (???) - fired commercial .223 brass commands about £10-25 per 100. (Bearing in mind that "Once-fired" might not really be that at all!!) Once fired ex-mil stuff like RG, GGG, or IMI normally goes for £10-£15 per 100.

    Your IMI (Israeli) and your PMP (SA) cases should be OK for reloading if they're boxer primed which they probably are. Only real issue with ex-mil cases is the Primer Crimp which takes a wee bit of time to remove. 3 seconds each with a battery drill operated countersink tool will do the job easily.

    The IMI and PMP brass has been deprimed and ive sorted out the crimp, just loaded one lot up and gotta test see how it is...

    The SA stuff is heavy weight compared to everything else though, so gotta be careful loading that.
    Without curiosity, evolution would have been greatly flawed.....
