.223 heads up- South African

[jdrew1]

I dunno how many of you guys reload bulk brass, but just a heads up- the .223 from Bell Distributors in Missisauga - made by New Generation in South Africa- berdan primed. *$$^&. That cost me a decapping pin. Woundn't have paid $200 for 500rds if I had known it wasn't reloadable. What's a pound of brass worth nowadays?

Sorry to hear, that sucks, gotta love winchester

Damn right, think from now on it'll be Win or Fed, both available actually cheaper than I got it locally, and domestic/reloadable. Lesson learned I guess. Until I get a 7.62x39 that is...

Same thing happenedto me with the same ammo.

Isn't Hirtenberger the only non-North American 5.56 milsurp that's Boxer primed?

That Pakistani/East Indian ammo (P.O.F.) is boxer primed as well. I don't know how good the brass is for reloading though.
