ghost21 Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 What's your take on Speer 40 brass, good or bad ? I've had mixed experiences with Speer 9mm brass. Mainly to springy, Like it was over worked, not wanting to hold the bullet and allowing set-back very easily. Let hear what you think!

mjohn Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 (edited) Speer works OK for me as does all USA made brass. I use Zero's 180 gr bullet and have no problems. CRC, S&B, Aquila and RSW all fail the case gauge and chamber gauge check for me. Other people who load 115's or 124's state the above brass works for them, but 147's will not work for me.

FullMetalJacket Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 I try to only use Speer and Federal cases when I load. It's thicker I feel. Less bulge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkvibe Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 I bought a ton of once fired speer brass. It works fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircooled6racer Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Hello: I would get a EGW "U" die or Lee to size the brass if it was shot in a Glock or some other striker fired pistol. I Case Pro my brass and have no problem with it. Speer Lawman shot in a Glock 22 is a manly round to shoot. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpollard Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 I used it exclusively for the first 2 years of shooting my .40. Had zero issues with it. A lot of people bad mouthed it but I don't know why. I'm on my 5th or 6th firing with it, still going strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
