Looking for a quality vendor for once fired brass. Names please.

Well after several emails from the supplier it's hopeless to get any consumer satisfaction. I was told the I need to remember that I was buying scrap materials. And this is exactly what it is, scrap. My word to anyone dealing with this company is.... good luck and buyer beware. As seen in this thread I'm not the only one with this issue. Just my .02 G

Thanks It is not a highbred, it is a standard bull barrel.

Same time frame, I bought this batch late December. Any brand seam to have more failures than others? Did you contact them about this?

Well after 2 emails from Monmouth reloading .com I got nowhere.... so many words too bad too sad. Check this off my list of brass suppliers. As a business owner my job is to provide a product that make my customers happy. And if not happy make it right. This is not so with many companies. Buyer beware! Just my .02 worth.

I thought that to Jack. I bought this from a commercial brass reseller. But why just the Federal brass?

Take a look at the at the pics... I have reloaded over 35+ years never had an issue like this unless an occasional brass that has had the sh*t loaded out of it or over pressure. My thought was shot from a Glocks with oversized chamber. Hummmm?

Thought you would never ask

I sent an email to the supplier to see what they have to say..... but I'm not expecting much.

Was it shot from a Glock ?

Sure appears to me once fired, good rims and case stamps. I did run all through a Redding push through die before reloading. Would this do it? G

Just Started my Spring reloading for 40 cal. I bought 4000 rds of once fired mixed brass. All looked good at first glance before the reload process. Now I'm finding 5% of the brass with various cracks at 4 stage where the bullet is added. And 90% of the bad brass is Federal.... what gives. I'm using a minimum bell on the case mouth so I know this isn't the issue. This is a PIA and by that time it has a primer and powder. Anyone else have this issue? Just asking Gary

Look on ebay..... 1911 magazine catch button extension,1911 parts, magazine catch,klonimus,1911

Good catch... found them on ebay..... only 12 bucks. I bought 2

PT Evo grip.... great fit and very grippy

Adam at Atlas was a great help setting up my new limited 40. It just arrived today I ran a quick mag of factory 180's before dark and with out issue, all in a 3" grouping @15yds. Will get over the chrono with my hand loads this weekend to get my best hand rolled 40 cal. and then rock and roll on the range. This gun is off the hook... fit and finish is spot on and their customer service is AWESOME to say the least. A couple of bench shots of this new beauty. PS... don't tell anyone about Atlas Gunworks as the turnaround time is excellent now and we don't want to screw that up ;-)

Just got a sneak peak of my new Limited 40 that is inbound

Good luck at the match!

I have a new Atlas coming in and will try several factory loads in it to see if I have similar results. Will post after the trial. Thanks for posting this. G

No complaint here just seem to see a lot of near 90 degree shoot targets in staging any more and extremely close shots within 3 feet of the muzzle. That's all G

It seems that I'm seeing a lot of stages set up shooting at 1/2 targets that are behind hard cover (barrels) at a 45 degree angel facing up and only 2-21/2 ft away. Point being that it is nearly at a 90 degree and easily broke if your not on top of your surroundings. Years ago we would make it almost impossible to break 90 unless you were blatantly brain dead. Why so many close 90 degree targets on a stage when you have the space? Just saying G

Once you go SA it will spoil any other trigger system...

At 12 bucks less per pound looks like it is worth trying after I use up the 8 lbs of N320 I have now

Is this a direct replacement for N320? Much like WW230 and HP38 is?

If you are handy drill and a 5/64 hole in the main spring housing and install a pin in the hole to hold down the grip safety. Check out you tube Adam from Atlas Guns has a good one. G
