.45 ACP nut Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 (edited) I take a pair of vise grips/channel lock pliers and crush the rim so no one else can use them, then put them in the recycled brass bin.

frankge Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Supposedly they are cheaper to produce because the machines that make them are cheaper to buy and operate. Something about the extrusion process is more complex for normal cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if he is still using them, as I don't know how supply chain issues may have affected them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9x45 Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Stepped cases have been around for some time. AmmoLoad, MaxxTech, IMT and Freedom Munitions. Prone to separating, especially in a carbine. Not worth loading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcrunner Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 (edited) Also, the OZK/Freedom munitions cases I've come across are actually like brass washed or coated steel (in addition to being stepped cases), they attach to my test magnet. Regular OZK ammo that I came across a few weeks ago seems like it's not magnetc, but still stepped. Edited January 11, 2023 by Arcrunner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
