on another note, can anyone verify that the US military is now destroying their once fired .223 brass instead of selling it to public business for redistribution and reloading purposes?

But I recall that they don’t destroy the metal. They sell the scrap to the Chinese.

Inquire with DRMO. I once delivered tens of thousands of ammo brass among other things to them.
