LWRC & LMT 308 Brass Damage

[kwak]

For those who own one of these or have shot them, do they ruin the brass to the point that it is unusable? And if it is reloadable how many times on an average?

Shot both have an MWS no problem with either.

MWS spent brass is fine to reload

So far it seems that MWS brass is pretty good. I see that from many other .308 ARs people are getting serious swipes on their case heads and some primer cupping and popping. My MWS' brass is very reloadable and in good condition.

I get on average 6-8 reloads from my REPR, and that's not due to case condition its due to how long the case gets in the chamber. I could easily cut back case seperation another 6 or so loads if I only neck sized, but I use the same load in one of my bolt guns so it's staying.

Unless something is wrong with it (overgassed for instance) AR's are pretty easy on brass. Just full length resize every time and if you like using mil brass consider getting a small base die set.

Win and LC brass are my favorites. Cheap and work well.

edit: I toss mine after 3-4 but I have had batches that went 7-8 times.
