Our dirty once fired 223 brass cases are one of your least expensive options when looking for 223 reloading brass. .223 once fired brass is mixed with 5.56 brass casings, they have not been sorted. We do not know the ratio of 556 brass to 223 brass.Once Fired Brass (OFB) Basics
Our brass includes commercial and military casings. We do not sort by headstamp, manufacturer, case length, primer size, flash hole, crimp, etc, unless specifically stated above. OFB may have imperfections, such as minor dings, dents, or bent mouths. Most flaws can be easily removed during resizing or upon first firing. This does not mean they are unusable, it just means you must resize them and fire them to remove the dings. Please review this article for more information.
Additionally, manufacturers do not always follow SAMMI standards. They can and do vary the case length on some brass (i.e., Hornady Leverevolution), use different size primers, and may use nonstandard primer flash hole sizes (regular size is .074, small .057, .110 BMG). Ensure you have the correct decapping pin when resizing and decapping, as there is no standard and manufacturers can use any size they want. The wrong size pin will make decapping difficult and break pins. Many who have difficulty depriming think it is due to the crimp, however, sometimes it is due to a small flash hole. More and more manufacturers are using a small flash hole, so this is not going away. For primer sizes, manufacturers can and do use different sized primers in their products. Note: Federal has both large and small 45 ACP (Blazer is all small primer), as does Starline for their 6.5 CM, and many others do the same 308s can also be in both large and small.
All purchases of brass are in "as-is" condition. We do not guarantee these for every application or bullet combination; they are intended for general reloading in a wide range of firearms. Regardless of our stock photos, some brass may be deprimed. If they are damaged and can‘t be used, we will replace them, with the exception of dirty bulk brass since we did not sort them.
