Non Toxic "NT" Brass OK to reload?

[sikwhiskey]

Looking at buying some once fired 223 off the EE, Win NT stamped brass. Do they use a larger size flash hole and smaller primer pocket for their NT loads? Are they compatible with regular Small rifle primers?
I believe they are once fired, factory, non crimped, 223 win NT stamped brass from frangible bullets. Any info would be great.

Looks like it is good to go.. Here are a few sites I found with info on the 223 brass. Appears the different size primer pockets are only used for pistol brass. Anyone here used any?

everytime i come across a piece of NT pistol brass, i toss it. Never tried the 223 though.

I am changing to using only NT brass in 45 ACP, using SP rather than LP primers.

Never tried 223 but for pistols, NT brass is OK as long as you get rid of the primer crimp

I toss that #### all the time when its 9mm...have to ream the primer pockets or it will just jam up the press

Dude, just save it up. Buy me a coffee and I'll swage it for you.

Well, if I do end up saving it, you can have it.

I also usually toss all the IVI and WCC cases as well.

+1 for IVI and WCC brass. BUT...

I never had any luck with 9mm NT, until I helped a friend to set up his new LnL, and his press had no issues with NTs. I felt jealous so I called Hornady and asked. They sent me a new primer punch, and I've been reloading NT since then, just as if it was regular brass.

Yah, I've heared about primer crimp, but I have no idea what it is. Slightly smaller primer pockets?
