    R-P Brass?

    Is it pretty good brass? I was given some lately (.223 Rem) and I was going to load some up using 55gr and 60gr bullets. Any input? Thanks

    I've never had any problems with Remington brass and I shoot a lot of it in many calibers.

    I've not reloaded Remington .223 but had excellent case life, etc. in other calibers.

    I like Remington brass. It is a bit softer than other brass and re-sizes easily......Good life too....chris3

    I only use R-P in bolt and wheel gun if I can. I have found it to be soft, easily beat-up in a auto loader ( short life ) and to be heavy ( thick ). If you have a pet load developed with other? Brass back it off for the R-P and work up again.
