Is there anybody forming from military brass anymore?
What are all the options I have considering most 221 brass has been discontinued?
Thanks

Hey, I just saw the post. I have been forming 20 Vartarg from LC 5.56 brass, had good success with it. It's a time consuming process, but I like the result.
Below is how I've formed the brass, showing the stages and dies used. After trimming to about 1.390" to 1.395" I'd run the expander ball through the necks. Then turn necks to .0120" to .0125" thickness, for a .232 neck chamber. Make them slightly thicker for a .234" neck. Then anneal the case necks and shoulder. They're ready to load.
