cvincent Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 That seems very strange. I've been using coloradooncefiredbrass.comAround Black Friday they offer free shipping in 5 gallon buckets. That's when I order. Can't recall any cases being cracked front the batch. Maybe a couple after firing, but Doesn't even matter at that point. Downside is I get quite a few .357 sig in there. But machine sorted I assume. Whatever. Still a pretty good price. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gman57 Posted March 24, 2017 Author Share Posted March 24, 2017 Thanks for the lead on a new brass provider. I bought some 9 mm from elite reloading it it was good stuff too. I'll try one of these two for my 40 cal needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gman57 Posted April 2, 2017 Author Share Posted April 2, 2017 Got a new provider for my brass, my issues have been solved totally. 99+% excellent brass and supplier adds 3% for good measure. Not much resolution with the vendor that sold me the crap brass..... wanted to give me a $10 coupon on my next order, Ha like that will happen.

g10mm Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 I reloaded 40 s&w for years . I have never seen anything like that . I have seen cases that were spit like that were fired way to many times If I were you I would trash all of that brass. This is why I stopped buying 9mm and 40S&W brass 1 fired . There is no way to see if it was fired 5 or 6 time look at Starline brass 1000 for $154.50 Shipped to your door It is new brass . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gman57 Posted May 1, 2017 Author Share Posted May 1, 2017 Easy to say if you can pick up your brass. I don't want to let 15 cents on the ground or 4-5 bucks a stage when we're shooting 4 stages at a match. I found a new supplier of good used brass now.

Hi-Power Jack Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 1 hour ago, Gman57 said: I don't want to lose $4-5 bucks a stage No reason to - as g10mm mentioned, buy the brass for 15 cents each, shoot it four times in practice sessions (picking up and reloading in between), and then shoot it the fifth time at matches - you can leave it on the ground and its cost you 3 cents/shoot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gman57 Posted May 1, 2017 Author Share Posted May 1, 2017 Well said...... I have around 7000 loaded now and should be good to go for the first half of summer. Not a bad plan that way to start adding new brass to the mix. G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty123 Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 I'am going to go with what "yeti" above posted as it's the most logical. FYI, I have a G23 and have fired literally thousands of rounds (just about every mfg's brand) from range pick up and never had my Glock do what your experiencing. Since you're not having luck with the company you purchased it from, consider it a loss and move on "out of sight, out of mind". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Done.... Just a hundred and fifty bucks is all. I'll never buy brass or anything from Monmouth reloading again!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve RA Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 You can at least sell it for scrap. I'd agree with some cleaning compound causing the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R1_Demon Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Scary that it happened though. At least you noticed if. If it was someone that was just pounding out the rounds and not paying attention like they should have, it could have been an issue. I'm sure it wouldn't have chambered, but you never know. It really sucks when a company doesn't stand behind their product to try and help you out. I'm a small business owner as well and I agree that they should have done something about it. I could understand if you were complaining about one piece out of 1,000 or 2,000 or something, but that many? I'm glad you dumped the lot and moved on because you don't know what the heck could have happened with the rest, even if it would have stayed together duing reloading. Not worth it. Plus, with your questions, I was able to get some sources on brass as well, so thank you to all that replied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
