Anyone try this yet?

How's it compare for runout, weight, etc to the other brands.

I'm using it 45-90. I think it's good stuff.

I likewise use their .45-90 (and .45-70). So far, so good. Weight seems to be +- about 1 grain, which is perfectly fine for a cartridge that take 60gr of powder and has completely un-aerodynamic bullets. Never noticed any sort of runout issue after sizing.

I got some 338 federal brass. Looks to be every bit as good as the federal brand. I've only loaded new starline brass so far but results appear to be about the same with starline and federal brass. Good stuff at a decent price.

I have 50 pieces of 45-70 brass. Appears to be as good as any other brass i have messed with. Consistent lengths and weights right from packaging.

My bad.

I should have specified rifle brass for bottleneck cartridges. I've used their brass for revolver rounds and the .45/70 with perfect satisfaction.

Excellent 30 carbine brass, I purchased 500 about 18 months ago. Have loaded and shoot about 100 rounds.
No problems.

There is an article on this in the latest issue of Handloader. Pick a copy up. Sounds like good stuff, and they provide brass to many ammunition manufacturers.

I love Star line.

I want them to make 404 Jeffery.

I saw that (I'm an e-subsciber). Might try some, but I think I may have enough .243 brass to wear out the barrel on my current rifle, and enough .308 for a couple. .223 is what I would most likely try, when it comes.

Thnx for this thread. I have a few 100 9mm Nickel brass. It's good stuff.

OTOH I haven't used any B N rifle brass by them. Good to know that it's good too.
Thnx

what calibers are presently available?

Not many rifle calibers, but a lot of hard to find pistol cases as well as common calibers. here is a full list of currently made brass:

I use their 32/20 brass,plus a bunch of pistol and revolver brass.Good stuff.

I've been using their straightwall stuff for years. I picked up some of the 308 when I saw it was available. I don't have a lot of loadings on them yet but so far I have no complaints at all. Started out very uniform and have had good results. If they hold up like they should I will be just as happy with the 308's as I have been with the various straightwalled cases over the years.

Uniform in length? Uniform in weight? Uniform neck walls?

Weight and length.
