Fishnshoot Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 Hi all. I’ve recently acquired some once fired .223 factory brass. Im told its federal. It’s marked G.F.L & .223 rem. i full lengh sized them and removed the spent primers. On inspection of the primer pocket I found the flash hole is not central to the pocket. It’s nearer to the side/top/bottom(depending on how it’s being held) id imagine that this is going to have a adverse effect on the accuracy. But before I go ahead and find out first hand, can anyone tell me if they’ve come across this before and if it did affect the accuracy. Or if any other issues arrived from it, possibly pressure signs etc. Kind regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradders Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 A quick Google search (you really should try it, Google 'GFL brass') and it shows up it's Fiocchi and the problems are known http://forum.accurateshooter.com/threads/gfl-brass.3853756/ Internets..

Fishnshoot Posted December 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2017 Cheers for the link. Did a search as you said.Had a read through. Mixed reports, but did read some folk saying it’s only bad for decapping pins- yep, can verify that. accucary wise, it shouldn’t make to much difference. ill load up a few and see how they go. Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
