ONG Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 (edited) It is great looking brass head stamped WCC 00 and then a small circle divided into 4 quarters (sort of). Any how tried reloading some of this in my 550 and it will not allow a primer to seat. If I deprime and then clean the flash hole everything is fine. I am using Winchester primers. Anyone know what I have here? And any suggestions? We no longer have any small kids in the house to punish. If we did I'd wait until the time was right and make one of them deprime and clean all 3500. Edited to add it's 9mm brass Edited February 19, 2008 by ONG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTOSHootr Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 I think that circle is the Nato symbol so I would say that is military brass with a crimped primer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el pres Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 That is defenitetly a NATO symbol and those primers are crimped. You need to deprime and decrimp all that brass with a primer pocket reamer for it to be totally safe to reprime. Trying to reprime a crimped pocket "could" set off a primer.

ONG Posted February 19, 2008 Author Share Posted February 19, 2008 Well thanks guys, that explains the "bargin" that I got. Am I correct that it will only need decrimped the 1st time I reload them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoshidaex Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 (edited) iirc WCC stands for western cartridge company. And yes you are correct, decrimp/deburr the first time and you should be good. Edited February 19, 2008 by yoshidaex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry White Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 If you have a buddy with a 1050 you can run it thur there and swage the primer pockets.------------Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joecichlid Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 The above are correct. Winchester Cartridge Company, Lake City Arsenal which does have a military crimp on the primers. You will see a lot of this brass on LE ranges. Joe W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ONG Posted February 20, 2008 Author Share Posted February 20, 2008 (edited) Like Joecicholid said!! Just to set the record straight it was ignorance on my part, no tricks by the seller Q Guns. He clearly stated "Once fired brass from a Law enforcement range. ALL are once fired only! Military (WCC 00) headstamp" in his discription, I did not know what that meant........do now though.

Ron Ankeny Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 If you want to sell it, let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joecichlid Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Some more information I forgot to include: WCC 00 As stated WCC stands for Winchester Catridge Company but the 00 is for the year of manufacture. I have some of their OLD brass, .45 ACP dated to 1940-42. Joe W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
