What brass you use to reload for M14?

How about everything that isn't used in my precision rig?

 

[Lazerus2000]

ANY BOXER PRIMED 7.62 NATO brass that has nor been shot out of a machine gun, is usually acceptable. If you use IVI, sort the cases by water volume, otherwise there will be some rather large variations = not so consistent accuracy. Some of the best 7.62 NATO ammo for the 14 is Hirtenberger, and the brass works well.
Do NOT expect a high nimber of reloads from your brass ... the M-14 is hard on brass, especially if you are shooting on concrete, or if you have a genuine M-14 op rod [ designed to motivate the brass during ejection ].
I personally don't want to load for the 14 any more, and would rather trade gunsmithing for factory loaded ammo. That way, I get a bit more than $ 5.00 an hour for my time.

Since the rifle is a bit rough on cases, I use military 7.62 cases. I've got a large quantity of IVI and that's what I use almost exclusively. That said, if I didn't have access to mil cases, I would have no problems using Winchester.

I shoot cast bullets out of my M 14 and they work great. Brass has a shorter life because you have to full length resize them. Guys south of the border suggest about five reloads is all I will get. Usual problem is neck splitting from what I have found.

Take Care

Any brass that is still in good shape for plinking loads. Winchester for my hunting loads.
