Hangfire, all brass held up and looked the same as the LC brass. If i didn't have the LC as first choice I'd use the Wolf gold 2nd then the PMC brass(bronze). I actually found the Wolf gold to hold primer pocket tightness in multiple firings more than the PMC not with just this load. I could push it more just to see what's left and would it get any better but with it showing the slight swipes with that one rifle i stopped. I like knowing i can take the same load and get moa or less out of anything from 11.5" to 18". Out of 2 16" carbines it only showed the swipes from one(and both have a fn chf 16" 5.56 1-7 barrel)
