Does Lake City .223 Brass have crimped primers?

[Todd Heyn]

I am looking at purchasing some once fired .223 brass from Wideners. Here is the link:

Once Fired Lake City Brass

Just let me know if the brass would have crimed in primers. I have sent them an e-mail but have not yet heard back.

Thanks in advance.

I have noticed that lot of newer than 05' LC brass does not have crimped primers.

The link you posted says it has crimped primers. You can get LC brass without crimped primers.

You might try presicion brass. Looks to be a little cheaper. I think it was $72 shipped. I just finished working 1000 pieces. Headstamps were 05, 06 and 07. Mostly 07

Scharch Mfg (Top Brass)

Spend the extra copule bucks and get it already prepped.

I would have went that route, but I wanted all LC headstamps.

It was a lot of work processing 1k by hand. Next time I think I'll try this guy: Custom Brass Processing

If you want inconsistent junk, by all means go this route.

I received an e-mail back from Wideners - The LC Brass does have crimped primers.

Thanks for all your suggestions.

I ended up buying some once fired commercial brass from a hide member.

What's inconsistent about his brass? I've only heard good things about it in the H.P. circles....

Heard - that is what I thought. I go by experience before pushing the SUBMIT button.

I got some and it was absolute JUNK. Inconsistent in every conceivable way - headspace, trim length, necks cut at an angle, chamfer or lack thereof, neck ID, smashed necks, you name it the brass had it wrong with it in both 223 and 308.

The only guy I would trust processing my brass is Dick Whiting.

One of our clubs sent tens of thousands of pieces to RVO over a year ago. Turned into a black hole. I doubt if we will ever get the brass back, and for sure doubt it will be processed if we do.

Thanks for the heads-up.
Does Dick Whiting really process brass?
