Pmc bronze , SG says reloadable, boxer primed, but I'm a bit leary of running the cases through a FL die if they are steel & just coated with brass , I dunno ? Anyone reload these cases ?

I haven't heard of PMC using Brass plated steel cases.....ever.

When in doubt, section a case and you will know for certain. Still, I doubt they are in fact steel.

Does it attract a magnet? IF so, DO NOT use them.

Yep.

Magnet test will tell you with certainty if they are steel or not.

I never understood "brass coated" steel. That's like putting a ferrari shell over a chevy aveo.

Steel is MUCH cheaper. The coating is for anti-oxidation purposes.

PMC Bronze, all of it I have seen, is brass, NOT steel.

Golden bear makes brass coated steel cased 30-06 ammo. http://www.dkgtrading.com/bearammo/gbrifle.html

There may be others who manufacture 308 Win like this, but everything that I've ever seen from PMC is all brass.

Been reloading a ton of PMC brass lately. It's actually been pretty good stuff. Better than the loaded ammo. :D
