PG:

I would like to see some dates on that memo myself. I recall ten or fifteen years ago the same thing coming up via the Clinton Administration. Never seemed to stop the flow of commercially reloaded ammo using surplus components.

I am not sure I would want to reload surplus 5.56 or 7.62 due to headspace issues involving them being blasted through machineguns for the most part. I would imagine an issued carbine (overgassed) with a worn out throat wouldn't be so easy on brass either.

Not sure the fascination with once fired military brass myself. I have always found it to be difficult to work with.
