Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - Federal/LC XM80C versus IMI 7.62 Nato Ball
Posted: 3/4/2015 10:32:42 PM EDT
I am wondering if anyone can provide any meaningful data on the performance of each round and in terms of reloading the cases afterwared which case is superior,  Any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks in Advance!!

I used to use IMI brass exclusively for my competition ammo years ago when it was available. Excellent stuff, lasted a long time. Wish Widener's could still get it. The IMI rounds I bought (M80-type) were pretty good, better than the Federal and Winchester I was using. If it isn't a LOT more expensive, the brass life alone is worth it.

I believe that the IMI bullet is copper jacket with lead core while the Federal is bimetal.
