Hey y'all,
Bought some once fired .30-06 brass today for $90 for 100 pieces and had some questions. Most is LC NM and FA NM but some is marked EW( Eau Claire), DEN(Denver Ordnance), and SL(Saint Louis). Is this brass worthwhile? Most is 1942-1943 stamped. Also I know that primers were corrosive up until around 1953(?) would this affect the stregnth of the brass? Would any of this brass of this era 1942-1957 be Berdan primed? Just dont want to mess up any decapping pins. Finally, I know most reloading manual suggest a 10% reduction when using MilSurp brass. Have you found this to be true or just one of those things that everyone says but not neccesarily required?
Thanks in advance,
sgtzach
