so im my late night search for the end of the internet i ran across these

https://www.novxammo.com/cartridges/

and these

https://www.shellshocktechnologies.com/sst-products/

so im looking at these and im curious about them
I'm consider trying them
i generally use brass cartridges for plinking reloads and nickle plated brass for special reloads like long distance, hunting or carry loads

Has anyone tried this ammo or reloads yet?
im going to put a add in the EE section looking to find some once fired cartridges
any input is appreciated

I wonder what is magnetic in them. I wonder why they only advertise reloadable on two of them.
 
i do know some blends of stainless steel is magnetic
depends on the crystal structure and how its heat treated from what i understand and if its a chromium blend or a nickle blend
 
I read about them a couple of years ago.

To reload you need special dies:

Nickel blend

Well, this kind of falls in line with the SS base Sig Fury ammo and higher pressures for velocity. All their talking about velocity, but no mention of pressure reached to get that velocity.
 
Hi,

Depending on your reasoning of wanting to use this type of case; you will be better off just using RCC brass.

IMO just not enough "meat" on those small diameter cases to function great with threaded/glued on top pieces.
