****** UPDATE 13 Feb 2019 ******
Processed 308 / 7.62 Nato should be available by the end of the month. I just got a notification that my back ordered parts are on their way to me.

First batch will be Lake City '16 and following that PMC. It is all subject to what the ranges are using at any given time.



******************************
I am looking at adding 7.62 x 51mm Nato brass processed. I probably have 50,000 pieces of Lake City '16 sitting around

It would not be Camdex processed. So no ringer check or crack check like the .223 / 5.56mm

Hence it would be

Deprimed
Swaged primer pockets
Resized
Trimmed to length

I have to run and see what the throughput and consumption of parts is like before I can provide an accurate pricing. It will be attractive enough to justify loading your own ammunition.
 
Would you be interested in selling it unprocessed?
I find lc to be very consistent for reloading, but I have the automated press in my basement to process already.
Thanks

I have everything together and just ironing out some calibration issues. They should be resolved in a couple of days, then I can start running production. I am waiting for a few parts for my commercial collators to caliber change to .308 as the Dillon casefeeder is insufferably slow in .308.

Tolerances look like they will be +/-0.003". If I end up selling a boatload of the brass, I can look at some additional tooling that will bring it into +/-0.002" (the same as my .223) however that is about another $10,000.

Lake City did not work out, the primer pocket was too tight to swage properly on the equipment I am using at any kind of speed. PMC is now available

The link to the Lake City brass isn’t working for me.

I’m still enjoying my last order, but this Lake City brass really piqued my interest.
