GGG brass - case quality and capacity


MichalS

Recommended Posts

As I had great results with GGG ammo, I plan on using the brass I accumulated (both .223 and .308). I also managed to buy a 1000 new .223 GGG cases for 20p a piece... What is Your opinion on it? Have anyone measured and compared it's capacity with comercially available cases? I know "military" stuff can have smaller capacity and require load reduction.... One thing i noticed is that the neck is thinner (~0.010") compared to Lapua (~0.015").

TIA,

Michal

I accumulated quite a lot of GGG brass by shooting the NRA match ammo that GGG makes and is sold at Bisley - it is stout brass and, I have found with the 308, very uniform in weight although it does need primer pockets to be uniformed.

I have just measured a bunch of necks - not so uniform - get between 13.5 and 15 though with a proper thickness micrometer - how did you measure the necks?

Don't know case capacity but weight may indicate lower than usual (again 308) - I would do a load test and work up 

Not that helpful but thats what I have
