[ARCHIVED THREAD] - anyone ever reload 308 TAA or ra head stamp brass

Posted: 7/19/2013 2:03:12 PM EDT

bought 1000 pieces once fired brass. most seems to be l.c. but has quite a few TAA, PSD, RA with it. I've worked with L. C. and PSD but not others. What should i expect? Plane on loading 5 of each and test how they hold up after mulipal reloads if no ones used them before.

RA is Remington Arms. Should be good stuff.

Is the TAA actually TZZ? If so, I believe it's Israeli military. I think it's comparable to US brass in quality.

TAA is Tiwan Arsenal. They purchased the TRW machinery years ago and made some pretty nice M14 mags on the original TRW equipment. They also made 7.62X51mm ammo for export.,

We probably bought the same stuff, mine a year ago. Most of the RA stuff is from the early 60's, havent loaded any if it yet, been using the LC first

Just weighed a bunch, the '61 are from 174-177 grains
The '64 are from 183 to 186, adjust accordingly..
'64 on left, '61 on right... 51.1 grains of TAC for reference

Nice job weighing the cases to check for differences. I have a bunch of RA brass from the early 1960s and it is high quality, just like the WRA/WCC and LC brass from that era.

What is your adjustment ratio? Surely its not grain for grain? Is there a reliable formual for this?
