I would guess the same except for the lack of the crimped primer pockets....better in that regard.

WCC brass doesn't have crimped primer pockets until someone loads it that way.

May I use it in my higher pressure loads? My PPU brass loads are almost at 2800fps w/o any pressure signs...I only us the ppu brass once...at these pressures.... |

No, commercial win .223 is lighter than WCC

To sum up, Win or WCC, get both. They are GTG.

In my experience, the brass has been close enough to one another to load interchangeably. In fact, I just ran some loads today through my 10FP using commercial Win brass and mil WCC brass to see if there was a difference, and couldn't find any. Using 24.5gr of H4895 behind a Hornady 75gr BTHP in both cases, velocities averaged right around 2900fps and shot to the same point of aim.

Good work Molon. Indeed, thanks. Would it be possible to add the Remington case data to your chart? This will be a keeper! |

I may be alone on this, but I always felt the WCC once fired I found seemed to have a harder neck.
Not 100% positive on this but I dont think they are annealed. |

WCC brass should be made to US MILSPEC. That being said, it seems to be a little softer than LC brass. For some reason, LC seems to not stretch as much with each firing which means you don't have to trim it as often. The primer crimp on the WCC brass I use is lighter than LC also. I haven't swagged a single WCC primer pocket on the 94 and 95 brass I have. |
