Everglades processed brass?

[Gohring65]

Is it really processed and ready to load?
primer pockets ready?
Necks ready?
sized right?
Length?
or is it a waste of money?
thanks

Anything that you get shipped should probably be run through a FL sizer or something that will re-expand the necks. Most stuff I've ever had shipped has dings in the necks.

I guess I’m more worried about the primer pockets.
swaging is a pain in the ass.

@airborne6.8 My experience has been with airborne6.8 and m&s processed brass. The primer pockets have been good to go. The trimming process tends to leave a case mouth that is bulged inside and out so a quick trip through the Giraud and your ready to load.

Guys. The gov is scrapping all brass now. So eventually lc and any gov brass is going to become extinct unless some laws are changed.

My understanding is we are recycling it now. Before it would basically be given away. At least my range is. I still pick up a bunch when i go for my own reloading and purposes.

I’m talking about military range brass. It use to be auctioned off. Now it is scrapped. “Recycled”

Yes, I know I qualify on Camp Pendleton. We brass up and it goes to the recycler. If the range master is cool, sometimes they let me fill my bucket.

It’s gtg.i load a shitton of Plinky 223 rounds on it. I also buy their 9mm. Brass bro’s might be cheaper though and they are equally gtg. If you’re doing precision rounds on either they might need a bit more prep. But I just let this stuff rip.

I have found gunwerks have good prices on once fired quality brass. Got some Hornady once fired 6.5 CM for 10 cents a piece on black friday.

Gunwerks doesn't have either 223 or 308 currently. Since the OP was asking about crimped primer pockets, I'm assuming he is shooting one or the other.

But thanks for the heads up. They have some brass I might buy.

I've bought many thousands of pieces of brass from Everglades. Both 5.56 and 7.62, no complaints about their product, price or shipping. I've bought their processed brass a few times. Dillon super swager makes short work of primer crimps.

Thanks for the heads up on another vendor!

your right my add was leading me astray of the thread topic. I know you can find a lot of Processed Lake city military brass on ETSY of all places. When dealing with small outfits offering a service, I will go with a small batch test the quality then dive in with a larger order.

That’s where I’ve found just about every piece of 223 and 9mm brass. It’s so cheap it’s not worth picking up
