If this is USGI mfg it is reloadable. 0 -
yes it is. but if its ball, youll have to knock out the primer pocket crimp.

How do I know if it's ball? 0 -
M852 is match grade 7.62 ammo. It will not have crimped primers and will be about as good as you can get for reloading. One warning, when reloading military brass you will have to reduce the load given in the books for loading civilian brass as military brass is thicker and the case capacity is less. This will result in higher pressures when the same amount of poweder and same bullet is loaded in military brass than when it is loaded in civilian brass. 0 -
m852 says MATCH right on the headstamp. ball will have the mfg and date only. i/e: ball = L C 8 9. match = L C MATCH 9 4. if i remember correctly, ball has waterproofing red dye on the primer. match doesnt...or its green. cant remember. also too, match brass has a a circle of knurling around the outside of the brass casing down near the base.
