[QUOTE="lloydsmale, post: 802939, member: 41442"] the problem with them isnt starline brass. IF anything starline brass is the best handgun brass made. It holds up much better then ww does. The problem lies with your ruger. The steal they made those 454s and 480s out of has to much flex in it. When you fire the gun with full pressure loads the chamber walls expand along with the brass when the contract they grab hold of the brass a bit to much. There is some help wiht polishing but for the most part dont expect to run loads with the same pressures your going to be able to run your freedom arms 454 at. Stick to the middle of the row book loads for the 454 and youll be fine. Actually the 480s were more trouble yet. When there bigger bore the cylinders are bored out to have less meat in them and they tended to be rough and could use a polishing. Operate a 454 at 47000 psi and it will usually eject fine do the same with a 480 and youll be pounding out cases. [/QUOTE]
