Txshooter524 Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 New to reloading. First, I'm reloading .45 to shoot is SS. Wondering if starline is any good, or if there is a better cheaper case somewhere else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonT Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 I use nickel Starline in .38SC and I like it fine. Never tried their .45 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NMBOpen Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 It's the only brand of brass I buy. I've used it in .357, .38 Super, and .45 with no problems. I do deburr the case mouth before the first loading to ease the powder drop/bullet seating on Dillon 550. I try to use range brass, though, if going to a lost brass match - want to get max use of brass I pay for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Gaines Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 in .45 any brass is good, pretty much, few exceptions, But to answer your question Starline is excellent brass. Personally I would buy once fired brass though, it much cheaper and will work just the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueridge Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 When I buy brass I get starline. I have used their brass in .45 Schofield, .45 Colt, .454 Casull, and .460 S&W calibers. I will probably start reloading .45 ACP in the next year and will purchase Starline brass for that caliber also. Most of the brass that I have is Magtech though, because I purchased .45 Colt ammunition and reloaded it after the initial use. Both Starline and Magtech have good quality brass, but last I looked Starline was a little cheaper (at least where I looked). If I am going to a "lost brass" match I use the magtech brass, not because I don't like it as much as Starline, but because I have more of it and have reloaded the brass 3-5 times normally.

m627 Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 I've used Starline in many pistol calibers for decades with excellent results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lugnut Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 It's the only brass that I've bought since I use mostly range brass. I'll say it's damn good brass without a doubt. Much cheaper than Win, R&P and others too. My experience is only with .45ACP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff686 Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Yea, 45 is 45. I only buy used stuff. If you can't find it locally, try brassmanbrass.com or that guy that sells on uspsa.org in the classified section. I buy starline for 38 super comp. I like it a lot.

orangeman711 Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 It's the best there is. I buy it for 9mm,38 super,38super comp, and 45acp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPatterson Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 It's the only brass I use in the revo. Range pickups and unknown use are practice stuff, newer purchased brass for major matchs. What's a lost brass match? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NMBOpen Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 It's the only brass I use in the revo. Range pickups and unknown use are practice stuff, newer purchased brass for major matchs. What's a lost brass match? Any match (usually larger) that doesn't allow for brass retrieval by competitors. Area 2 is one. Provides some income to the host club, and contributes to keeping match flowing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do have to watch other revo shooters if you use Hearthco's though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
