I'll run most brass mixed... PMC, LC, FC, R-P, etc. because they're close enough. But M.E.N. was too different to run mixed in. I agree though... for plinker, I wouldn't mind.

Hello Mark,
Yes, I separate all of my brass according to the head stamp. I prepare all of my brass in 100 round batches. Re-size, trim to length, de-burr the flash-hole, ream out the primer pocket, and tumble clean in corn cob media. Brass preparation takes me some time, but I think that it makes a difference. I've shot some tight groups as compared to some factory loads that I have tried.
P.S. I need to get myself a chronograph and a Dillon 550 too.
Mixed brass has given us sub moa groups for years. Often when we go for the tightest possible group, we will sort through the bucket and get 5 the same, but this mixed brass practice has not hurt us. Not ideal, but we bang steel more than anything. Even our slamming ammo is 62gr BTHP that we can take to 750 with mixed brass.

I found a pound of H322 in the closet that I forgot I had so I loaded some 73gr Berger’s over 21.8gr to see how they’d shoot in some of our guns. We shot them out of 5 different AR’s and had excellent results. Too bad H322 seems to be as hard to find as XBR8208 around here.
Tagged for interest. I have 2 boxes of the Nosler 77gr CC sitting on the shelf. No H322 though. Only IMR 4064, 4895 and TAC. If I ever find Varget again, I will probably buy the supply. Lol. Good info, thanks.
Have you found a good SBR/SPR load with the 77gr CC?
