Just a handful of LCBought 2 bags of 250 for a total of 500 pieces.
First bag; 210 of FC (which were mostly FC 223 REM) / 20 of Speer / 18 of LC / 7 unusable for a total of 255 pieces.
Second bag; Almost entirely FC 223 REM / 4 Speer / and only 10 LC.
You must separate The LC from the rest. The FC, as noticed by others as well, are shorter in case length by .017 on average.
Bought these after buying .308 Primed Demil Brass and it's all LC so I was disappointed with the 5.56 turning out to be mostly FC. It's fine, I just prefer the LC. -
ExcellentHad issues with shipping but they have totally resolved them in quick fashion. Will continue to buy from them!!!!

Best 556 LC primed brass I have seenSecond order of this item. Much better condition than the first order- these are very clean, quick look detected no split mounts, occasional minor neck dings, all were LC 16 with standard ring primer crimp. Should have ordered more, as OOS showed up just now when I went to reorder....

Dirty case bodies from asphalted necks, 4.6% Split necks or damaged mouthsOkay, Resized and cleaned (by hand with mineral spirits on a rag) my order of 1000.
Here are the numbers:
n= 1007
damaged as to be not useable=46
total useable= 961
All were LC, mostly LC 16, some LC15, vast majority have standard ring crimped primers, at least one had 4 point staked primer crimp ( as in M855A1 ammo)
I measured 100 cases and all were within SAAMI cartridge "headspace parameters. All have asphalt sealant in the necks.
I resized all of them with the expanded plug emoved (otherwise you will foul your die and possibly mess up brass). It is annealed and not fired, so seating a bullet will be no problem once I chamfer the mouth.
I loaded 20 of them with a standard load of IMR 8208 and 55 and Varget and 75 grain Hornady match bullets. Fired slow fire prone ( sling and no support, NRA/CMP high power style) at 200 yards, all fired just fine. Groups were within expected size- sub MOA. Brass showed no issues upon firing and function in my NM AR15A4 was perfect.
Hopefully I will see 4-8 reloads as I normally get from LC once fired brass.
The neck splits were caused by the pull down process itself as they were short. I probably could load up the damaged cases for blaster carbine fun and then toss, but I generally don't mess with any damaged cases.
I rated these as 5 stars because with demil/pull down components you expect some issues and certainly not pristine shiny sparkling new stuff. The extra work effort is a given. For 11 cents per for LC brass and a live primer, this will be reordered soonest! -
So far, so good!Just received my order of 1k of these primed pull-down brass. Looked at the first bag of 500, found two with split necks, some have slight dents on the mouth, all are LC16. A few had minor dings on the shoulder.
Overall impression is good. Will run them through a neck die and load to see if there are any inherent issues(there is a reason they were pulled...). Will update my review then. Gave 4 stars based on overall condition and value.
