Quality Cartridge brass - 7stw

[hemiford]

This brass is currently not available, but if/when they make more, is it good high quality stuff ?

Yes, he's waiting on enough orders before he does another run.

 

[hemiford]

Sounds like good news, I probably should put an order in !

 

[Bghunter338]

I've got one in and if we can get more people committed he will make some

How much does he need to make a run?

How much does he need to make a run?

Let me find out. He's a nice guy to deal with. He also makes bullets that I want to try.

 

[Bghunter338]

I sent him a message.

 

[7stwnut]

Please let me know what he has to say.

He lists $48 for 20 brass, or $61 for 20 that are nickel plated.
Can you resize nickel plated brass ?

Reloading Nickel plated brass??

What are your thoughts on reloading nickel plated rifle cases?

I asked the same question a few years back and the responses were mixed. I have a bunch that I am holding on to "just in case" The above link has the various responses.

Thanks 7stwnut, I just read through all that. Sounds like more good than bad (nickel).

 

[Bghunter338]

Please let me know what he has to say.

Will do

Yes, I've done it many times. Just be careful tumbling them. If you leave them in to long the nickel will come of.

Problem with nickel is that it does scratch your dies and the nickel does/will peel off.
I spent big $$ on nickel safari brass in 338 and 375 some years ago…it also cost me 2 die sets that were CUSTOM grade. Never reloaded or bought another nickel case after that, so be warned.

Cheers.
