In reference to .223/5.56 brass.
On the 24HC Black Rifle Challenge Thread there was a recent discussion about FC brass being softer than other brands. It seems several people found this to be the case in the past.
It was also brought up whether the newer FC brass with the case head that has the SCAMP dots is the same as LC brass, also with the SCAMP dots, IE are both made to the same spec.
I sent an email to Federal yesterday asking specifically about this to resolve the question. I have a lot FC brass on hand and I'd like to know the answer.
My question to Federal:
Is Federal .223/5.56 brass with the SCAMP dots on the case head the same (mil spec) brass as Lake City? I have seen several comments that FC brass is softer than LC, but I was wondering if the newer FC brass with the SCAMP dots was the same as LC.
Thanks
Federals response:
It is the same.
Thank you
