Robocop1051 Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 I get so much Winchester 55gr FMJ for free, I can barely justify something else. I scored a few hundred Federal "American Eagle" in a deal recently, but it's basically the same 55gr FMJ stuff. I don't hunt with the ar15 (yet), so plinking ammo is all I keep around.

392heminut Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 Reloads in .223. To be more specific, 55 gr. FMJBT Winchester or Remington (whichever Midway has on sale) over 21 grs. of IMR 4198. If I decide I want to mess something up as opposed to just punching a hole, I have about a dozen boxes of whatever softpoints the Border Patrol issues my son. <thumbsup>So far all I've put through my LR 308 is 100 rnds. of Tula 150 gr. FMJ. A buddy of mine picked me up about 600 rnds. of Lake City 7.62 brass from White Sands the other day and I will be getting the stuff to set up my Dillon 550B to reload soon.

98Z5V Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 green tip PMC 62gr 5.56Does the brass on that round have a NATO headstamp on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soofley Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 PSD headstamp. Uh Oh, is this a north korean counterfiet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 No, trying to see if they're loading the 62gr penetrator projectiles into commercial .223 Rem brass, or if they're loading it into real 5.56 NATO brass. If it's NATO brass, it has to have the NATO headstamp. It's the circle with the crosshairs in it. See it here?If the circle/cross isn't in the headcase, it's not NATO-sized brass. Is that on your brass, in the headstamp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soofley Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 its headstamped "PSD" no NATO cross. Can south korea use the NATO cross anyway? they're not even a NATO member country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 My whole point was about the Green Tip 5.56 ammo - that specifically means it's real 5.56 NATO M855 equivalent (SS109 ammo). Looks like this stuff is NOT what it's "acting like." It's just a 62gr ammo that they felt like painting the tip of green... The projo might be the same thing - but I'd suspect that - and it's not in NATO cases, loaded to NATO pressures. That's fer sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soofley Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 it seems like PSD is s.Korean mil surplus according to the link below. I'm happy with PMC 62gr. I'll give their 147gr .308 actually, PMC is quite affordable http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_3_16/550072_PMC_X_Tac_M855_62gr_FMJ.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of whether it's in NATO cases or commercial cases, the 62gr would be a little more desireable than the standard 55gr stuff. I'll grab some of it, but I was wondering what I'd do with the brass once I shoot and sort it. I'll measure out the case capacity once I get some. Thanks for the info on it. <thumbsup> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
