Military Classic Bullet???

[tongue_fu_jr]

I hope this is not a dumb question, but can some one tell me what a military classic bullet is? Wholesale sports has "GOVERNMENT SURPLUS UMC AMMUNITION CENTERFIRE RIFLE · 223 Remington
Description - 223 Remington • Style - MC • Grain - 55" for sale. I found out the MC stands for Military classic. But other than that I cant find any thing about the difference is if any. Thanks to all

OK, got some bad info off the net!!! I found out that MC stands for metal case. Now my new question is can you use them for reloading your own? As I would like to start to reload some time some. Thank to all!!

IT is described as ammuntion so it is already to go. Are you asking if the fired brass is reloadable?

 

[kevin.303]

the bullets are available for reloading, sold in bags of 100. the brass is standard boxer primed, can be reloaded

I want to buy the ammo, then save the brass for reloading. So the MC has some thing to do with the bullet, not the case? I am new to the shooting sport and have a lot to learn still!!!

MC means Metal Clad which usually means the same thing as FMJ (Full metal jacket) and refers to the construction of the bullet, not the case. This is fine for plinking or target shooting but is not suitable for hunting because it doesn't expand like a hunting bullet should due to no exposed lead at the tip of the bullet.

Those cases should be fine for reloading altho you may have to remove a crimp around the primer pocket using your case neck deburring tool.
