What is lake city match brass?Is it a better quality of brass?

Should be brass that came from the Lake City military arsenault. It should be slightly thicker than factory (Win, Rem, Fed) brass.

Thank you for the reply.

I think LC brass has crimped-in primers. You will need to remove the crimp with a special tool prior to repriming.

I have never reloaded LC brass myself but some people I know that reload swear by it.

LC has primer pocket crimp, LC match does not. Back off starting loads by about 2 gr. because of lower case capacity than commercial brass. Good for use in military autoloaders as they tend to be brutal on brass.

Both .308 and .30-06 brass have that problem.....the 308 is the worst. It' s easy to overload these brass cases...but they' re fine cases...go ahead and use them.
