    PMC brass worth keeping?

    I don't currently reload .223 but I always keep my brass for that rainy day when I start. Mostly PMC, but it just occurred to me to wonder if PMC was worth keeping.... so is it?

      I have loaded PMC brass in .45 ACP and have had no problems whatsoever.

        My main concern is consistency; is the brass pretty regular - neck thickness and that kind of stuff, since I'll be reloading for precision.

          I am not sure I reload it for Saiga just to plink around.
          For accuracy I go with Winchester.

          Just keep it why through it away?

            Oh I'll keep it, no problem. Heck I've got a ton of brass for a bunch of calibers that eventually reload for.

                    It may not be the best for accuracy, but its pretty robust and good in an autoloader that chews up brass.

                      it'll do for plinkin' ammo, but don't expect to win any matches with it...

                      But after all is said and done, can you ever really have enough plinkin' ammo?

                          PMC Brass ???

                          I could never get more than one reload out of it before it started coming apart. 6.5X55, 8MM. So I just put it in the recyle bucket.
                          I won't be wronged
                          I won't be insulted
                          And I won't be laid a hand on.

                            I'm probably at 5 or 6 reloads with some PMC brass. Primer pockets are still tight and they show no signs of failure. Were you oversizing? I bump the shoulders .002-.003" and they seem to last forever.

                              PMC brass is pretty good stuff, my only complaint is that a lot of the flash holes are off center.
