165 no of HPS-TR headstamp 7.62mm / .308 brass - I think it is once fired as the loaded ammo it came from was fired by myself and it certainly looked like their new brass loading ( the loaded HPS ammo was gifted to me ) Sell for £15

500 no of GGG .308 Match grade ONCE FIRED brass ( This is from the GGG 168gr Match ammo I use in my LMT ) Sell for £60

200 no of GGG .308 Match grade ONCE FIRED brass ( This is from the GGG 168gr Match ammo I use in my LMT ) Sell for £24

700 no of Privi 5.56mm Match grade ONCE FIRED - this is from their 69gr Match load which I used last CSR season. Sell for £70

Collect from March, Cambs.

Or from me at The Phoenix Meeting - I will be there Thursday night, all day Friday and all day Saturday.

Also advertised elsewhere so get in quick

IIRC the HPS loaded in new brass can be identified by the presence of the 'J' pressed into the primers.

Thanks for the heads up - just googled that and cannot confirm ( also nothing on HPS website ) either way.

But for what its worth - just checked a sample of the 165 and cannot see any "J" on the primers.......

The 200 x GGG now sold.

I think you're wrong- I had some of their multiple-fired ammunition a couple of months ago that definitely had the "J" indentation.

Maybe you're right, but it seems very odd indeed - I recall many times the primers being inspected on returning numerous crates of new brass after firing for the deposit - if the 'J' wasn't present anyone could have loaded it any number of times. Logically the J would have to be used only for the first loading, and I'm nearly certain that used to be the case. But I don't have any in the cabinet any more so I won't say I'm completely certain. And perhaps the new owners don't bother any more or have changed their methods.

Huh, odd indeed and what you say does make sense. Perhaps mine is only one fired brass now I've fired it

I'll take the 308 hps brass,

Hps brass sold to Alan.

500 GGG 7.62 sold to John.


That leaves the PRIVI 5.56mm remaining.
