    Annealing Brass

    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.

    When to discard brass

    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...

    Dirty brass

    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...

    45ACP brass w/ small size primer pockets

    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...

    Brass OAL Question

    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...

    Rem. nickel plated .223 brass

    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.

    Does Lake City .223 Brass have crimped primers?

    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.

    Methods for tracking pistol brass case life?

    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...

    Recommend me some brass for 300 Win Mag

    A new rifle is on the way, chambered in 300 Win Mag. I had figured on purchasing a few hundred pieces of Lapua brass but since learned Lapua does not offer it anymore. So what's left? This thread on longrangehunting.com from last year makes me suspicious of Nosler brass...

    CheyTac 338 Lapua Brass

    Shooters, this is a non-aligned professional bump for CheyTac's new 338 Lapua brass, made by Jamison International. I've tested this brass and saw some of the high pressure testing done on these cases. They are superior to anything out there. Including Lapua's brass. Jamison has a solid...

    Winchester 7.62 Brass any Good/ Fiocci too?

    Found some Winchester 7.62 147gr for $10 per 20 and before I drop the coin, is the brass any good for reloading? I figure its thicker NATO brass and not a true 308? Looks like its annealed? I have 10 boxes on hold but I could get a lot more. Also found some Fiocci, poor spelling but its their...

    Remington vs Lake City Brass Capacity

    How much less powder would one want to use in Lake City Brass if a posted load was calling for Remington Brass ?? The reason I ask is that Greg Langelius's 175gr load of 42.2 IMR 4064 in Remington Brass shoots real good in my M1A. However I only have 100 pieces of Remington Brass and plenty of...

    Brass Shavings from priming? (pics)

    Background: I usually prime with a Lee hand tool, which works quite well, however on this batch of mixed year LC .223 brass I've noticed the Federal 205M primers don't want to seat all the way into the brass with the Lee tool. I decided to switch to my Co-Ax press to see if that would seat...

    TAP Brass

    This might sound like a stupid question but I just got into reloading but can you reload .223 Hornady TAP brass? Any problems with it reloading or is it actually better ?

    Lake City Match brass??

    Anybody used any in a .308? Had any luck with decent loads. I noticed it was heavier than lapua brass, which surprised me.
