    LC vs. Win. Brass .223

    So I got some New LC .223 dated 09 with Nato Star
    Desided to do alittle compairision with my New Winchester Brass.
    These are averages:
    Weight:
    LC = 92.68
    Win. = 94.5
    Deviation was less with the LC
    Primer Prockets Diameter
    LC = .173
    Win. = .1735
    Primer Procket Depth
    LC = .1205
    Win = .1175
    Case Neck wall Thickness
    LC = .012
    Win. = .0125

    I found these findings odd, seeing how everyone keeps telling me LC is suppose to be thicker and hold less Volume, my findings are just the opposite.
    Only thing better with LC is the Cases are Annealed and Primer Pockets
    are .0005 tighter and .003 deeper.
    Also weight Deviation was less with the LC Brass
    Failure is not an Option

    Military 5.56 brass and commercial .223 Remington brass are very close to one another in weight.

    I believe where a lot of people get confused is Military 7.62 NATO brass is thicker than it's commercial, .308 Winchester counterpart.

    Here's a good article that shows some of the commercial .223 Rem. compared to Military 5.56 brass:

      Well that figures, I never bought .556 LC Brass before.
      I figured it would be better than the Win Brass, but I recken not
