where can i get steel case ammo in 223/5.56 ammo that is boxer primed?
Well I have reloaded steel cases for several pistol/revolver calibers with no problems after several thousand reloads. Some as many as 25 times so far. The coating will wear off and the outside will rust but it is still able to be cleaned and reloaded after that. Whats the big problem with doing this?? It has not hurt my dies either. So I feel the "problem" is interweb misinformation.
What ammo line is it from?That Hornady case is brass with a black nickle finish. My favorite brass.
I think that he wants steel cased ammo because it's cheap and the Boxer primer because the center of the primer pocket in a Berdan primed case is the anvil. Since the anvil is made of steel, I guess it highlights a weakness of the Mini-14 firing pin, while the brass anvil that is part of the Boxer primer provides a "cushion" and isn't a rough on the equipment.
Brass cases are so readily available and easy to get, I wouldn't mess with steel cases. Throw them in the trash. You're going to have to sift through them to find the ones with boxer primers.
