.308 Military Brass - Good Stuff!Review by Dale

Overall Rating

Well, I was a first time customer and ordered 500 pc of the .308 military brass. I received it today, and I am impressed. Good stuff, all Lake City (100%), primarily '14. There's a couple of scratch/dent pieces, but I could not be more pleased. It was packed well for shipment. So, I am no longer a first time customer. Just ordered another 1k of .308 military brass. Thanks folks! (Posted on 4/12/2019)

Very good brassReview by Ren

Overall Rating

Getting back into the reload world and needed a source for brass since I don't have a source with the Gunner's Mates anymore. Accurate round count, no berdan's, only 3 borked cases and like 20 that need a little more TLC to salvage. Otherwise its very clean and ready to put into the processing cycle I would and will buy more! (Posted on 3/21/2019)

Excellent Cases and BulletsReview by Hauptmann

Overall Rating

I ordered once-fired .308 military cases, pulled .308 bullets and 55 gr. soft point .223 bullets - and couldn't be more pleased. The cases were all LC 14 and of the 500 ordered, I received about 525 and only had five that could not be salvaged. The bullets, like the cases, were immaculate and in perfect condition.
I've read some criticisms of packing but Everglades has listened to their customers and the packing was excellent: The priority box was taped all around and held together very well for a heavy package; the packing of the box was tight and the bags for cases and bullets were of heavy plastic that only had a couple of minor splits that did not damage any of the contents and, really, has to be expected with high speed handling by the USPS and the weight of the box.
The speed of shipping from Everglades is legendary but always comes as a happy surprise compared to most vendors.
For speed, price and selection, Everglades is my only go-to reloading source. (Posted on 8/21/2018)

Outstanding for the price!Review by Bullard Bearwel

Overall Rating

I resize these rifle cases on a Lee Load Master as a dedicated step. Station 1 is a RCBS lube die #2. Station 2 is a RCBS small base sizing die (Station 2 has the priming priming option removed and station base is heavily reinforced for heavy resizing). I only resize 1 time, even though its machine gun fired cases. No chambering problems encountered with my bolt guns, my 2 M1as, and an LR308 with a match chamber.
I use a Lee FCD collet crimp die as the final step and no trimming necessary.
Great brass delivered for free at warp speed. (Posted on 8/15/2018)

Excellent BrassReview by Glenn T

Overall Rating

Most of it was from Lake City. About 20 pieces was WCC. All of it was in excellent condition, boxer primers and cleaned up like new brass. Had one piece that crimped at the mouth but enough extra's to more than make up for it. Everglades is an excellent business. They also ship fast and their packaging is excellent. I plan on doing more business with them. (Posted on 5/28/2017)

Top shelf brass at twist cap prices. Review by Gady

Overall Rating

Brass was super clean and in near excellent condition. Delivery is ridiculously fast and there is unparalleled communication. I hope this company stays humble because they will have a lifelong customer here for as long as they do. No reason to buy anywhere else (on every level) when it comes to brass. I hope to take a day off and drive to the shop some time soon. (Posted on 4/2/2017)

Great Shipping / Use a Head Space Gage Review by todd

Overall Rating

1st of all the shipping and service is the best. I normally do not write reviews so everyone please bare with me. I did not rate this brass a 5 not because it was garbage, it is the prep time. I have been reloading for close to 45 years and have loaded al lot of military once fired brass, this is the 1st time I have had anything latter than 1990. Not sure if the Government wanted the hardness changed on the brass or not, but this newer brass is extremely hard, also seems as if the QC, is not what it used to be. Everglades is dead on! Watcher there video and use a head space gage to set your die and be pre prepared for a little longer time trimming the brass (it is hard) swaging is a given, but the primer pockets are shallow and do need uniformed. When I mention QC what I found is inconstancy with the flash hole, to stay consistent with you hand loads you will need a flash hole uniformer. I purchased 500 pieces and out of that there were 5 I was unable to head space tried 3 different dies YES THEY WERE ALL SB(not an issue EG throws in extra brass) I am not saying that you have to make the brass perfect "its your gun" I load for an M14 (real one) and that head spacing is critical, but truly take the time to follow Everglades brass prep. If you take your time this is great brass at a great price and you only have to do the primer pockets once. I will be purchasing more, I would recommend. (Posted on 12/11/2016)
