brass

I am new here and I have a brass question What is the life on the Bertram 375 brass using semi hot loads and what about bullets? what bullets do you guys use in a 1:11.5 barrel and how long does the barrel live I'm thinking 1500 rounds with those ballistics and if you had to choose between a...

Anyone have any tips or tricks to marking your brass to identify it among others? I usually use a fine tip sharpie and write the number of load on the primer. (when I load brand new brass I write a "1" on it, the next time a "2", etc. etc.) This tends to work better for just keeping track of the...

I was digging through my reloading gear and I came across around 250 lake city pieces of .308 <span style="font-weight: bold">match brass</span> with a date stamp of 72. My joy turned to sorrow when I realized that every piece had been resized down to 6mm. I have no idea where this brass came...

Howdy, I have been reloading .223 for over two years now, using the same 100 Norma brass. I ordered another hundred a few months ago and another 100 just a week ago. I weigh each case and my old brass weighs around 101 grains, the two new batches weigh around 93 grains. Does anyone know what...

Primed 500 45acp brass and am not going to be able to load them until tommorrow afternoon and was wondering if putting them in the fridge would help keep them and so they dont get to hot during the day until I can load them tommorow night, any thoughts? Thanks Ubet

I am wondering whose brass has the hardest these days. Interested in 308 and 22-250. I know it has varied over the years. I have some early Federal in 7Mag and 22-250 that is not only harder but case weight is lighter, as opposed to recent manufacture. Any one have the inside dope, on this??

ok i have 200 primed 308 cases i bought when nothing else seemed to be available. they are made by hornady i was told, but they say frontier. question is, how important is the brass? i have varget and 178 amax bullets. are thes worth trying to make accurate loads out of? or should i forget...

I am looking into interest in a group buy on the Bertram .375 and .408 CheyTac brass, if you have interest check my post in the Group Buy Section or send me an email. Dave http://snipershide.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=1272944#Post1272944

Gentlemen, Here are some pictures of the first ever made .375 SnipeTac brass. The brass is made by Dieter Horneber in Germany. For comparison is a .408 CheyTac Cheers, Master Diver

I need to purchase some new brass for loading for my AR15. What's the recommended brand?

Looking for your methods/ideas for annealing brass. I have read that 7WSM should be annealed after a few firings to keep neck tension consistent. Also, I have a 17 Ackley Hornet that brass needs annealed after fire forming.

I just started reloading and was tumbling some .223 brass and was checking thru them for cracks,splits,dents etc. I see alot of small dents here and there in cases (size of a pen tip or smaller) and was wondering are they junk? Dont bother to reload them or are they ok? If I see any dents large...

Im new to reloading and got a RCBS tumbler and tumbled some Black Hills new and remanufactured brass and I let it tumble for 6-7hrs in just regular corn cob media with the RCBS powder polish added and the necks on most of brass is still dirty. On other brass I had tumbled I didnt have this...

I was reloading some 45's today and ran across a problem I have never seen before and was wondering if anyone else could tell me about it. Some of the brass takes small pistol primers instead of the large ones. The brass I am talking about is headstamped Winchester NT 45 ACP +P. I have never...

im new to reloading and have a question. The speer book i got with my RCBS set said to load .223 casings the max brass case length was 1.760 and trim to 1.750. The question is can you go under that length by a little without making a difference, does it have to be exact 1.750? Like 1.745 or...

any interest in this stough.. looking at $255.00 a 100 Note this is NEW IN UNOPENED Box only 2 boxes

This is the cheapest I've seen it in stock for a LONG time. Have at it guys because I can't, unfortunately I just stocked on 5k pieces but at a higher price. http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct/?productNumber=1390176376

I heard Rem. discontinued making it. I like it because I can find my brass in the hay while woodchuckin. I started using it for highpower comp. because the "Brass Rats" used to scarf up all the brass and I could pick mine out of their stash! Mine are getting old and I need to find some.

I am looking at purchasing some once fired .223 brass from Wideners. Here is the link: Once Fired Lake City Brass Just let me know if the brass would have crimed in primers. I have sent them an e-mail but have not yet heard back. Thanks in advance.

I haven't been nearly as vigilant in labeling my pistol brass for number of times fired as I do for my rifle brass. In all truth, I haven't been as vigilant about my bulk (blasting).223 and 5.56 brass either as I pick up quite a bit, in addition to my own. I clean it all and handle it / inspect...
