    PMC Bronze brass, any good?

    I did a search specificly for PMC brass but did not find much. Sorry if this has been covered already.

    I am not new to reloading but I am new to reloading the .223 cartridge. I have a whole bunch of PMC Bronze brass and was wondering if this brass is worth while reloading as plinking ammo or could I use this brass with 69 or 77 grain SMKs for High Power matches? Anyone else using this brass? or should I keep it to other well known brands only? Thanks for your help.

    Keep it all trimmed to the same length and it will be fine.

        I've got 350 PMC cases on their 4th load in .223. They're fine. When sorted by weight they are good to go.

        Next time you buy bullets throw 100 new cases of Lapua or Winchester in the cart, use those for matches.

          I have a BUNCH of PMC brass that I'm just starting to prep, and most is close in length, but QUITE a few have off center flash holes, and most have lots of of excess material on the inside of the flash hole that needs to be deburred, primer pockets are ok.
          All in all, not too bad for hoser ammo, considering for $6.00-6.50 a box, you get to shoot it and can reload it too!!!!!

            Thanks. Plinking ammo it is. I've purchased Winchester and Remington for match stuff. I'll have to take a look at Lapua next time I order more.

                Lapua has the smallest weight variations of any brass I've used. Has a drilled flash-hole and with it being annealed it's good for at least ten loads in .223 - but I don't see any difference/improvement in accuracy over any other brass. Great brass but it is spendy.
