I have a bunch of Lake City brass which are about to be reloaded a couple of propellent grains below the .308Win standard. No prob there.

Question: How should I load "(+) WCC" cases? As 7.62mmNATO or .308Win? I suspect the former is the way to go but thought I'd ask here. WCC undoubtable stands for Wincester Cartridge Company. Yet I'm figgerin' that the (+) designates NATO spec case capacity.

Thanks again in advance. I appreciate the rapid answer to my previous question. Wanna be both safe AND accurate at the range.

The WCC ("NATO Cross/circle") would be GI contract brass and should be loaded just like any other GI 7.62x51mm case. Same for FA, or RA (Remington) USGI brass.

WCC is Western Cartridge Company. Start low and work up. If you want to be sure, weigh a couple of cases and compare the weight with other brass that you're familiar with.

They're considerably heavier than commercial cases like RP, so less powder capacity. I use mostly WCC 7.62 NATO brass myself. It's good stuff.
