I've buckled the pressure ring with these cases more than once. So off they go to the scrap bucket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck63 Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 I've got 1000s of new WW and Starline cases but I reload just about anything I pick up at the range...and use it in practice!Then I sort it by headstamps,check it for splits,close-to-unreadable stamps and use it in minor matches and leave it on the ground.I steer the hell clear from APC and Federal NT brass...the former's not so popular in Italy,while the latter,which comes straight from LE ranges Staside has ring-crimped primers pockets which are a real PITA...even if you do have a single-stage and a swaging tool...or a Dillon swager,for that matters! GFL(Fiocchi) cases are a tad finicky sometimes but I kinda like them.Speer and CCI are quite good but they split like hell. Cheers Manu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaiserb Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 (edited) Anyone that has that S&B brass that don't want it, can send it to me.. I know how to fix that tight primer pocket problem! Dillon Super Swage or the Lee primer tool work well for S&B The only problems I have had with S&B is some of the cases are steel, coated in brass.

They sure are and you can't tell it just from appearance. I've got a real strong little magnet mounted in a dowel rod...stir it around and it'll suck the counterfeits out in a heartbeat.

dcbridgwater Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Won't use the Federal with the headstamp of "FC". Lots of separations with this brass. Using the nickel "Federal" headastamp brass with good results. barry Does anyone know if the problems with "FC" head stamp is only with 40S&W or is 10mm "FC" brass affected also?

Joe4d Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 My last batch of range pickup had some Federal NT and CBC (magtech) both had crimped primers. Not really a problem if sorted out and reamed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
