Igman has been around for a long time and is
generally regarded as good quality. |

Igman is good stuff.
Used some of their m855 without issue |

It is decent stuff, but keep in mind if you are going to reload it that it uses a smaller than standard flash hole and some decapping pins can get stuck in the flash hole or it can break the decapping pin.
I turned a taper on a decapping pin that allows the pin to get started in the flash hole then swage it out bigger. I was able to deprime the brass I have and once they are swaged to the larger normal size they should work fine in any die in the future. |

Interesting, who else uses smaller than standard flash holes? |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Interesting, who else uses smaller than standard flash holes? Off the top of my head, Norma 9mm does. It easily swages to the diameter of the decapping pin. I think some more recent European 5.56 has small flash holes in an effort to deter reuse/reloading. |

I think fiocchi or sellier & bellot has a offcenter flash hole but I’m not sure.

My buddy has a bunch of MGs he lets me shoot and he keeps the brass. I ran a couple hundred rounds of Igman 7.62NATO last month through an FAL, FND, and MG34 and he said he ran into no issues reloading the cases. Just a sample of one here. |

I should have clarified this was 5.56.
I have no experience with their 7.62 NATO. He may have just had a set of dies with a smaller decapping pin. |

Several years ago Igman had some operational problems.
Since then, they have hired an American company to take over management of operations at their plant. |
