What is the difference between so called FC small print? and FC large print Headstamped .223 brass? Anyone got a photo? Is one better or worse than the other for Reloading? I've got some Fed. American Eagle once fired - and would like to use it.

I've found that the primer pockets loosen up quick with either headstamp.
If it's once-fired, go ahead and load it if you don't have to trim it, but I usually get two reloads out of it tops, so I don't like to put a lot of time into brass prep.
For some reason I was having a hell of a time priming the fc brass. It was like 1/10 would not want my rem 7 1/2 primers. They wouldn't seat properly or get smashed. I was priming them on my rock chucker but today I was doing everything the same way but with rem brass and they all turned out perfect? I just won't try to reload the fc brass anymore and stick to rem I guess.
