Normally military brass is thicker and holds less volume. You should load at least 10% below your load in commercial brass.
Also, the military brass is going to have a crimp on the primer pocket. This is going to have to be removed prior to your installing a new primer. You can get a hand reamer to do this or RCBS makes a primer pocket swager die.
