Scavenged ~200 mostly Lake City once-fired but a few mixed head-stamps got gathered-up as well.
While sorting the brass after tumbling I came across about a dozen Remington 223 cases looking like this:   Forgive the photo quality, not a photographer. But notice how for down the shoulder is and how extended the neck is, just wondering what this is?   Edit to add images, not all that image adding savy https://imgur.com/gyPKEHk https://imgur.com/gyPKEHk Lets see if these are visable? |

Did you verify they are stamped .223? Look almost like .222 cases to me.

Here's the head-stamp:

That head stamp clearly says 222 REM.

Pics aren't working for me, and both imgur links are the same. Going by the picture in the link you picked up some 222 brass. Here's that picture in the link

I think Colt maybe other mfg'rs sold AR-15's to Mexico for civilians since civvies aren't supposed to own military calibers.

I'm usually very reluctant to take any range pick up brass because I don't know it's history, and it isn't worth screwing up a firearm over someone else's used brass.

Quote HistoryQuoted: LOL, glasses things happens to me a lot. If I don't have glasses handy at the range, I take a pic with my phone and blow it up.

I shot a friend's old Husqvarna in .222 and it was a one hole shooter. Yes we are. But I’ve found it a few times where they actually put the brass back in the factory box and left it in the can. Until I built up a supply of. 222 Rem brass I sacrificed 223’s. |
