Reloading surplus Korean 30-06 brass

[Ray P]

Has anyone in this forum tried reloading the Korean surplus 30-06 brass recently being imported?

A Chief in my Reserve Seabee unit shoots on one of the Navy Reserve Rifle teams. He said he had poor luck trying to reload the Korean ammo. The primers were a non-standard size. Has anyone had trouble reloading this brass?

Oh. The Ammo info is: PS 75 (2-184)

I have reloaded some(not sure if it is the same stuff you have). I don't think the primers are a different size but the pockets are pretty heavily crimped. I use a numbered drill bit to clean out the crimp. After that the standard large rifle primers fit fine.

Thanks!

I guess I'll save the brass. Been fighting the reloading issue for many years now, but it looks like the final break-down is approaching. I'm just going to have to start reloading if I'm going to maintain my rate of fire.
