Religious Shooter Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Looking for new 9MM brass to be used for big matches. Minor to +P levels. Probably just going to be used once as big matches are lost brass matches. Just want that slight edge of reliability over 1X fired. X-Treme has their new brass for about $50 per 500. Has anybody had any experience with their new brass? Good for what I want to do with it? Or is there a cheaper and better/as good choice? Starline is currently $130/1000. Thanks.

warpspeed Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 I've got 1K Federal I'd part with for $100 ( I think I have 1K ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Religious Shooter Posted December 4, 2016 Author Share Posted December 4, 2016 Well you know. When you buy 1X brass... is it really 1X brass? My "big" matches are 3G matches where I generally only shoot 120-150 pistol rounds. So the added expense of the new brass over 1X brass is like $5-$15 more per match. Not too bad considering the match fees, gas, hotel, food, etc. means $600-$1K+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does say FM headstamp. Anyone know if they are stepped cases like the normal FM we pick up? If so, Starline at $130/1k is still the best deal.

I had loose primer pockets and was blowing the primer out....(9mm major load) 15 times out of 40, never happened with once fired or new Starline. I called X-Treme and they gladly provided a return label and 100% credit to my CC. I'm staying with once fired bulk brass. Great customer service in my book from X-treme though.
