Default RE: Starline Brass Rocks!

I've got a batch of Starline .454 Casull brass that has worked great. These have been loaded 6 times with near max loads (300gr. XTP-Mags @ 1750fps and 240gr XTP-Mags @ 1900fps, pressures around 55,000-60,000PSI), and they show NO indications of wearing out. I've seen no thin spots in the cases, the case walls are uniform, primer pockets are tight, and after 6 reloads the brass has shown less than .001" of stretch in case length. I've been told that other brands of brass don't hold up well to reloading .454 Casull at full power, giving 2 or 3 reloads before the brass has to be thrown away. The Starline is good as new after 6 reloads.

Wolf,

How much Starline brass have you used in .38Spl? Maybe you got a bad lot.
