    GGG is not bad brass. Saw some shocking empties left on the range yesterday (.223) nearly all with pierced/blown primers and bolt thrust marks....oh dear
    I bought some once fired Norma .243 not far off what you're describing, not impressed!!
    Thanks for looking

    I remember that.

    Once fired my arse, the Norma factory tends to use Norma primers in their ammunition for a start...

    Indeed, I may pick out the best ones and turn them into disposable creedmoor cases for when catching brass is less than practical!

    The fed brass is going strong now it's been annealed so going to turn some more .243 into 6.5 CM, keep me busy until the 25-45 shows up
    Thanks for looking

    That is one of the nice things about the GGG brass. Yea I know it needs swaging but they put a nice red laquer seal round the annulus so if it has been twice fired, its bloody obvious.

    One of the good things about CSR is quite a few dont have time or are too lazy to re-load = plenty o brass looking for a home
