They are like the others except I would not worry about corrosion from funky primers..... but you can't reload or re sale the "brass" when you net out the cost of regular stuff like Winchester white box or similar brands of generic ammo, the cost is pretty low. When you reload the real brass cases you cut the cost to about .25 cents per round and you have about the best ammo money can buy. If you begin to reload I"m sure the folks here would walk you through it and you would find that if you have a few extra hours per month you would be happy spending it on the work involved. Shootie

this is pretty interesting. Not really. He may have grown a beard, but he was not involved with SF. I earned my Green Beret in November 1962. The right of passage then was completion of SF Training Group. It included your A Team specialty and a course that was known then as Branch Training. The right of passage today is still completion of SF Training Group and what is now known as the "Q" Course. Few Americans had ever heard of Vietnam in 62. It was only in 1965 that Vietnam became a real issue for Americans. I was already in my 3rd year on an A team overseas of what grew to 20 years service and almost 11 years overseas. I am still an active but retired member of the SF regiment. And I attend several SF events at Ft Bragg every year, including the recent graduation and banquet that had Ross Perot as guest speaker, I met American indians in SF, beginning in 1962. In 1963 I was on a team with one. The program your link supposes did not exist. There were no special programs in SF Training Group for American Indians nor any other race, then or ever. In fact SF training is exactly alike for all Americans. The only differences are found in the specialty phase and parts of the Q Course. Mine was demolition and explosives for the 1st 6 years. Every candidate, except foreigners who are not taught all the tricks of the trade, must all pass the same requirements, then and now.
