So easy. Just add powder.
Add powder of your choice and viola you have a bullet. Can't get any easier

with the primer market shortage being able to purchase the primed Igman new brass already primed is great. All of the companies that have primers and have jacked the price up TOO MAKE MORE PROFIT will not be forgoten and when times return to normal good luck to them .

Note: the cases I received show IK21 headstamp with .223 REM. They are not 5.56NATO, so keep in mind when loading that 223REM is rated for lower pressure. In my case, I loaded this with a conservative charge of CFE223. Since, I doubt 2A Warehouse wants me disclosing a specific load here, it suffices to say that it was a relatively low pressure charge, around mid-range for Hornady's 223REM recommendation for 55 gr FMJBT. These worked well enough as plinking ammo. You can just drop in some powder, seat the bullet, crimp at the cannelure and go. Most people have excess brass, and maybe even projectiles, but given that primers are unobtainium right now, saving on having to dip into an ever-dwindling supply was the reason I bought these. I would recommend spot-checking your trim length, as in my case it was a bit longer than the recommended 1.750", so you might have to trim if you are particular about a consistent seating depth. The biggest issue for me was when I went to process the brass after shooting some of it. De-priming exposed a very tight and/or off-center flash hole. The universal de-priming die I use for every single case I process (rifle or pistol) drags on the flash hole upon both punching the primer out and when the case is lowered out of the die and drags again on the pin. There's a definite dimple protruding into the primer pocket after de-priming. Even when using a flash hole debur tool and a primer pocket reamer (both hand-powered), I found the middle area is shiniest as it's the highest raised surface in the pocket. This could have the effect of making the primer (using CCI 400 at least) seat higher than it should, which could be a dangerous situation (ie. could cause a slam fire). In my case, the ones I measured were all at/below 0.117" depth, which is consistent with me noticing, just by eyeball, the high primer seating issue. I get that using dial calipers to measure this can be problematic, but comparing several other brands of .223 REM brass (Federal, Remington, PMC, Wolf Gold) fired cases with the same tools (multiple dial caliper brands) I get well above this (more in the 0.120+ range). I was able to get one more or less 'into spec' by playing with one of the cases (tried a punch upside down to push the dimple back, and then debur), but this might be taking too much material and/or weakening the case unduly. I have yet to try a primer pocket uniformer (one on order), but suspect that's what it will take for me to be able to safely use any of this brass a second time. Stay safe
Overall a good deal. Customer service is excellent
Quick service and product is excellent! Will purchase again!
This was a grate buy and great product Will definitely purchase again
Best purchase of brass I have made since I have started reloading. Brass and bullets in one package was a game changer. Delivery was quick. I will purchase again if it is available.
Good prices and easy to load.
This is a good value for those who simply wish only to drop powder in cartridge cases and seat bullets. Accuracy and consistency of my finished ammo is a bit better than the bulk of "competitively" priced ammunition I've used.
easy to load, everything is there but the powder.
