338 Edge - Match Brass - FINALLY!

[DAF]

I was wondering how people are finding the 338 Edge Bertram Brass?

I have been testing a batch and I am interested on how other have found it.

Cheers

Shawn,
What issues might arise if I ran this 338 EDGE Bertram brass into a 300RUM FL die? I make .30-338 Winchester brass this way as is commonly done. Could neck turn if the neck is too thick. Thoughts?

Sounds like great brass. Any chance of a run of .300 Win mag. I would think that caliber is popular enough to justify it. If you think it might be worthwhile start a thread and see how many reply to it. Bet the pre orders would make it worthwhile. Bruce

I think 50 pcs would suit me do I have to buy 100pcs to get some.

 

[Shawn Carlock]

You can easly neck this down to 30 to have good 300 RUM brass, you should not need to turn necks in a standard chamber. Until we fill all prepaid orders we will only be selling in 100 pc lots.

 

[Jay Cutright]

When do you expect to start shipping brass?

 

[Shawn Carlock]

We have been constantly shipping brass as it comes in. The problem is that we have been taking prepaid orders faster than we can get brass in.

I got my order in from DE right after the first of the new year. I have been pleased with the consistency and toughness of this brass. I would like future Bertrum Brass users to know that my batch was on the thin side. So if you are getting a chamber cut and will be using Bertrum, take that into consideration. From my findings Bertrum is around .003 thinner than Nosler Brass and I had to drop down to a 361 bushing. Once again great brass, just an FYI from my findings.

Plus 1, I am having the same issue. Even a standard die does not size the necks down for enough neck tension for my taste. But I have a set of Redding 338 EDGE comp bushing dies on order from Shawn and will soon fix that minor issue.
