Armscor 30 Carbine Brass

[Smoke & Recoil]

Anyone have experience with reloading Armscor 30 carbine brass ?
The good, the bad and the ugly.

Armscor ANYTHING: the brass is soft but well made.

They are mostly useless. One fire and the primers fell out of pocket. Brass too soft.

Like Scorch said, my experience with the Armscor Headstamp has been that it may on the soft side, but is perfectly serviceable for reloading.

I personally prefer softer brass because I convert my .30 Carbine brass into 5.7mm Johnson, so the relative softness makes it easier to form the case.

Never reloaded armscore brass. I can say that as factory ammo goes it is terrible. Anemic in 30 carbine and 38spl. Smokey, sooty, dirty stuff. Light strikes and failures to feed in my m1 carbine. Will never buy the stuff again. Id toss the brass in my scrap bin unless i was mighty hard up for brass, just based on the poor quality of the loaded ammo. But thats just me.

Even Starline can get loose primer pockets with hot loads. My 32 mag says so.

I use PPU brass.
On 5 reloadings & no problem so far.
One LGS has 10 bags of Winchester 30 Carbine brass.

You have to check Starline's site regularly. In my experience, go ahead and order on backorder, as soon as they let you. I always receive in about 10 days. Free shipping, and they ship each caliber as soon as it is available. They are my go to brass, but do not make 300 WM for example. Their 5.56mm (they also make 223), may be the best available.
