Rnlinebacker Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 NAS3 case. Nickel alloy steel. Great lightweight case. I use them for practice. Magnetic as well but not very strong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if you get carried away with crimp on soft bullets the case will separate when you try to pound them out with a hammer. i.e. chrono Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thermobollocks Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Since you can rake up as much 9mm brass from the public range as you like, I've not found a reason to care about any of the gimmick cases they're coming out with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don_B Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Careful if you are running them through a regular sizing die. I was told they can separate and leave the top part of the case stuck in the die. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolan Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Don't knock em, if you ain't tried them. I've been using them mostly for practice because they are really easy to pick up with a strong magnet. My only issue so far has been since they are so much lighter than regular brass cases, my MPX throws them halfway across the range, my open pistol is much more tidy and only throws them a third of the way across the range. I've loaded some of them to major pf more than 10 times and they still look good, no loose primer pockets. splits, etc... The case head shows the ejector marks, but nothing really serious and the rim isn't all beat up. I like them, but yeah, if you don't have the special dies, just toss them. The special dies load regular 9mm brass just fine. If you have a magnet on your case feed tube, it will catch the NAS3 cases no problem. There is a comparison photo at 6:25 the video between the 32 times loaded case and a new case. Nolan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
