I purchased some once fired 338LM brass and a bunch of it is stamped Bell. Is anyone familiar with this? Any info would be great.
Re: Bell headstamp on 338LM?
Thanks for the link. I dont see anywhere on the site that they make 338LM.
Anyone have any experience with them? I dont want to waste my time if the brass is no good.

Bell make brass in lots of calibres for other ammo manufacturers and also load their own. I would try the brass if you have it but would bet Lapua would be more consistant and tougher. I would weigh the cases and see how much variation they have if they are all within a few grains they should be OK it will be just a matter of loading them to a safe pressure that the brass handles.
You can go to Bell and order any case you want with your own headspace their is only a minimum number of cases for them to make them for you and the cost.

Bell brass is good for BPCR,thats all I use for my Sharps and Rolling Blocks. Have'nt nad any problems with them so far,but black powder is a different animal all together.
If your afraid to shoot them give them to me. I'll put them through my TRG-42 and Rem 700 MLR.
