Reloading Bosnian Brass

[aerod1]

Has anyone on here reloaded the Igman brass that was made in Bosnia and Herzegovina? I have some in 6.5 I am wanting to load for my Swedes. If so, how did it work out for you?

Didn't reload that caliber but Igman brass for 50 BMG is some good stuff. I've read posts on 50 Cal boards that guys have got 10+ reloads on the brass. The brass is good quality, necks turn down easily and primer pockets true up easy.

I buy all that I can if someone is selling it, its worth buying and keeping for a rainy day. If you buy loaded ammo, clean your rifle like its corrosive. 80's 50 BMG Igman was found to be mildly corrosive, it took about 10 days for the steel to start rusting but it did and the test piece didn't. Not sure if the newer stuff has been changed so keep it in mind.

I have a bunch of 223Rem cases marked Igman. They came out of South America as I recall. Guatemala I seem to remember. I have loaded a small number of them and not had an issue with them. Brass was good to go.
