I have been reloading for a short time and saving my brass for quite a while. I do not reload any rifle cases yet but have been saving the brass and plan start reloading sometime in the near future. I was wondering if anyone has any experience with the federal American eagle 5.56 factory ammo. I guess my two questions are 1 it has a green tip but looks like a regular jacketed bullet. Do these have a steel core? Question 2 do these cases have the crimped primers? I don't see anything that looks physically crimped if they were I would guess it Should be some obvious.
So far I have kept my reloads to pistol only. The brass for the several hundred cases of the federal 5.56 I have are LC head stamps from 2018. I'm sure they will be decent for reuse. The boxes I have say reloadable brass cartridges.
