[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 755446, member: 25383"] I had a handfull of RWS 30-06 brass several years ago, and it was hard as my ex platoon sargent was in basic training! I played around with the cases a little bit. I gave Vito Mitkus three or four of them to see what he thought about them, and he told me that they were very close to bronze. Tobe exact he said they were not all that far from a low grade Ampco bronze. And that is well known as a pain to work with in it's higher number states. So on his advice I split a case lengthwise and flattened it. Sent it to the lab (this case had been fired one time), and they saw everything you had in bronze in it but at lower levels. There was even nickel and a trace of chrome. Without a doubt this is the strongest brass on the market today! Vito asked me what I was wanting to do with the stuff, and I told him I wanted to reform the cases into something around 60mm long, but with the same basic profile. I annealed it per his instructions and actually did make the 60mm long version of 30-06 brass. I wouldn't do it again gary [/QUOTE]
