PPU Brass - good or bad

[Seabeeken]

Junk
I had enlarged primer pockets in the 223 brass using loads that worked fine in other brass. Trashed it all

Lots of brittleness problems reported in the 10mm world with mid-heavy loads. From split cases to bullet retention. Thought to be an alloy problem.

I have reloaded PPU brass in many calibers and all has been very good stuff.

PPU 5.56 brass does not work well for conversion to .300 BLK. The walls are a little too thick, so you end up with a thick walled neck. It's also harder than others resulting in excessive resizing force. I realize you're not making BLK cases, but this does provide two bits of data regarding the characteristics of the brass.

Could the necks be turned down?
I have some once fired PPU brass for 22 hornet, we'll see how that goes.

I loaded 9mm using that brass I have had zero problems.

223 PPU cases hang up in my LEE shell holder and I have to fiddle with it to get it out. Other than than that its as good as any other brass.

Loaded it in .223 and .45ACP. never had a problem. I have some .223 PPU all primed and ready on my bench right now, matter of fact.
