Mousekiller Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 I'm loading berry's RN 147's in mixed brass.. to 1.150.. no biggy but it seems like every time i hit a head stamp brass thats marked CBC the bullets don't seat to the proper OAL they are generally .005+ off.. never short always long.. Anyone know anything about this brass ? inherent problem? stiffer or thicker then most brass ? I didn't see any particular differences.. And who makes CBC? tried a search this forum and it would not let me search for some reason. All the other brass i have no problems with.. Using a dillon 550b with lee dies. Anyone know what *I* brass headstamp is ?. can't say i've seen that before. AND holy boly has Win White box 115gr stuff gone up.. $14.50 for 100 rds at Walmart.. last time i bought any it was 9.99.. thank goodness i reload. Thanks for any info folks.

WestWorld Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 CBC = Magtech... I have no experience with it. "I" = Independence. I have some .357 "I" brass that I have loaded many times with no problems. I don't know why the CBC would not allow a consistent OAL... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miranda Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 hi I load WIN cases mainly and some times the odd case gets past me... I know when I load a CBC 9mm case. It feels very different. I have not measured the case, mainly because I am sure I won't get an accurate measurement... I think the case walls are a wee little thicker and the bullet takes more effort to be pressed in place. yup it comes out a little longer... I get 2 thousands more... think of it as normal? miranda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSMITH Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 I have no problems with CBC 9mm brass using jacketed or lead bullets. I don't like plated bullets and don't load them. I think CBC is good brass in calibers other than 40, in 40 it feels a little clunky going through the press. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mousekiller Posted February 23, 2007 Author Share Posted February 23, 2007 I really don't mind the brass as it seems to be pretty nice actually, just does not seem to be as soft as some of the others and i'm sure that's probably what is the biggest difference.. If it would load .001-2 long i'd not mind so much, but at .005 + it could start making issues with the bullets in the magazine etc.. Maybe i'm just to finicky ? how much is .005 in OAL going to change velocity ? Jeff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
