.223 Once Fired Brass Preference

[thump_rrr]

When processing once fired .223 brass which are your most and least preferred brands and why?

I prefer PSD because the necks are annealed, they're long enough to allow me to trim them to a consistent length and the primer pockets are tight.
The only negative thing about them is that they need to have the crimp removed.

My least favorite are Winchester due to loose primer pockets.

FNM, LC'08, and Winchester produce the tightest groups. FC brass has shown to have the loosest primer pockets. PMC has also proven to be decent brass in the past.

Anything without a crimp.

I prefer Winchester brass. I find Federal is too soft and sucks arse.

RP is okay too, but I try to reload Winchester the most. Especially in .308.

"...because the necks are annealed..." All case necks are annealed after forming. Some are just polished.

S&B but it is usually pretty scarce, then Win, RP, PMC and Fed in that order.

IVI, LC and Winchester in that preference. Don't mind the crimps, the Dillon Super swage makes quick work of it.
