[ARCHIVED THREAD] - WCC vs Win NT

Posted: 5/10/2012 5:37:22 PM EDT

I have three different kinds of brass. One is winchester 223. One is WCC nato. And lastly is some Winchester NT 5.56.

I have a great load I have been using my 55 and 64 grain bullets in the WCC

In the WCC I am using 22.5 grains for my 64 grain bullets and 25gr for the 55.

Would I be ok to use the same loads for this brass? Or would I be better off just starting over with this brass and working up again?

WCC is the military version of Win brass. So the same.

Haven't used any Win NT cases.

Weigh empty cases of all three to compare.

I think you'll find that all Winchester brass is basically the same .

Check out the primer pockets on the WIN NT, they may be crimped.

They are. I had a batch of 200. They were crimped - once removed (swaged) they were GTG.

I actually got the brass from a guy on the EE. Primer pockets have all been swaged.

handgun NT is almost always small primers. Nothing like trying to reload some .45 ACP, and having Win NT jam up the works.
