So I have some AR brass I'm not familiar with, as far as being good for reloading.

First up is headstamp PSD on top with 2 digit year on bottom. South Korean, 5.56 I presume.

Second is headstamp A USA on top 223 Rem on bottom. Commercial Ammunition USA I believe.

Any have any experience with these, good or bad?

Thanks in advance.

I've loaded bunches of PSD. I think it's good stuff, comes from PMC ammo. I've had nothing but good loads come out of it.

A USA is Armscor USA, supposed to be good brass

Stay far away from AMERC

Careful with the PSD ones (PMC ammo), some people have reported off-center flash holes causing de-priming issues, and others even after depriming said they required a lot more work than usual to remove the crimp.

Not a fan of anything Armscor.

Most PSD brass has small flash holes that can be an issue with Dillon dies. And most all of it has crimped primers that can be a deal breaker for some.

Thanks for all the input so far.

I guess I get to sort it after all [gohome], and then run some test batches to see how they work out for me.
