Very happy with the finishing of this itemVery happy with my purchase of this item.
I would like to mention....the cases I received were excellent and I HAD NO ISSUES WITH PRIMER POCKETS.
As far as I'm concerned.....a fantastic buy all around! -
Primer pocketWhile priming my batch of 2K of this processed brass, only 1 was found without the crimp removed. With my second batch of 500, 210 didn't have the crimp removed rendering them unusable. That being said, fortunately I have a Dillon Super Swage I can use to get the crimp out. Not a problem with the exception that these were sold as completely processed. This is not a "knock" on Everglades. Things happen & can easily get overlooked when dealing in these volumes. This is more of a heads up for them to tighten up the QC at the swaging station. I have used Everglades for virtually all my reloading components for years & I will continue to do so. I want no restitution. I just wanted to bring this to their attention. Your still my "go to" place for components.

Good but primer pockets need attentionBrass cleanliness - *****
Resize - **** (little shorter than I prefer but consistent)
OAL - ***** (very consistent and trimmed to standard length)
Primer pockets - * (It didn't appear any effort had been given to removing primer crimp. I see many other reviews reporting same) -
Great prosuctAfter many hours of reaming, sizing, cleaning used brass, this is the only way to reload. All you do is prime, add powder and bullet. I will never go back. A great product.

Worth the money, but an average productI purchased a 500 package of this brass earlier in the year and finally got around to checking the brass. I was disappointed to find the cleaning of the primer pockets subpar as well as sizing deviations of up to .006 +/- SAAMI specifications. My greatest disappointment though was the pocket swaging to remove the military crimp. Initially I picked 10 cases at random, and using a Go/No gage found a full 40% of the cases needed resizing, while 20% of the cases had a very tight primer pocket. I have continued to work through the cases and have found the percentages of primer pocket problems to be consistent. I will continue to order through Everglades, but the company should pay a little closer attention to the details.

Swaged Primer Pocket?I have never purchased fully processed rifle brass before. Got around to using a 1000 box from November 2018. I am using a Dillion 550B with CCI #400 primers. Pocket is deforming the primers. I have to use a primer pocket tool to clean up each pocket to accept the primer cleanly. Going to be a looooong 1000 rounds to load. Like putting a round peg in a square hole.

Issue with swagingI ordered 500 pieces .556 Processed brass. Very few dings, very clean and COAL was fairly consistent. However, I had approximately 15% of cases with primer pocket issues; it took some tlc to get the cases to accept the primer. That is the reason I give only four stars. I also ordered SS109 projectiles and they have all loaded perfectly. Finally, I also ordered .308 processed brass, but have not begun to load yet. Will review those cases later. Bottom line, overall good cases, great time saver and I will order again.

Really good brassI have to admit, after being burned couple times with recycled brass, I have been bit leery of "Quality Brass". However, I have really changed my mind about this brass.
Clean, resized to case gauge length, not damaged. If you re loading flat base bullets, you will need to put bit of a chamfer on the case mouths.
Nothing else to say. Will be ordering more as need arises. -
Great 5.56 brassThis brass was clean and consistently measured under maximum length. Each pc. was swaged properly and out of 2K, only two had crushed case mouths. All I had to do was lube and dump into the case hopper. No complaints.
