IMI .223/556 Brass

[260284]

Has anyone reloaded any of the IMI brass? I am getting a 1 in 8" twist bolt gun and their 77 grain ammo looks decent. I also have a 1 in 8" AR I could run it in.

i've loaded and reloaded their NATO spec brass. No better or worse than most. I'm partial to LC.

Is the primer crimped on the IMI Milspec ammunition?

IMI 77 OTM RazorCore is extremely accurate ammo. I handload all my ammo but a friend bought a few cases and gave me a 20rd box to test one day at the range. I shot a 2.5" 5 shot group at 500yds in my 16" WOA 1:7 Recce rifle.

buy with confidence. And crimps are no big deal and no different than LC. Buy a $10 RCBS crimp reamer off Amazon and chuck it up in a drill. One and done.

Sounds like an excellent plan...

Midway just had the 77s for $.54/round. Hard to justify the time and money to reload at that price.

Thats a good deal. SGAMMO has it regularly for $0.67/rd...

At $0.29/rd for handload match grade ammo I have to disagree though... And after the first firing brass is reused so that drops to $0.26/rd...
