Default Starline Brass ?

Any body have an opinion of them? The reviews on the website are all positive. So figured I'd ask for some thoughts here.

Thanks

Tom

I use Starline Brass exclusively for both .454 Casull and .45 Colt, and I've been very happy with it. I've actually been to the Starline factory (I delivered them a load of brass case blanks a while back), and I was impressed by the guys I talked to there. These guys are all hunters and shooters who take great pride in their work. All the stamping and forming machines form the brass one case at a time, and in the half hour I was there, they did QC checks on each machine at least twice. I load my .454 Casull full throttle, and I've got six reloads on each case so far with no signs of problems. I also load both .44 Mag level .45 Colt loads (for my Super Redhawk) that have stood up just as well. I also have a batch of 50 .45 Colt brass that I use only for light plinking loads (250gr bullet at about 700fps) that will probably last 20+ reloads.

Starline is good stuff. If I ever loaded more straight-walled cartridges, Starline would be the one and only brass I'd use.

I've used Starline brass in the .357 Sig, 10mm, .400 Cor-Bon, .45 ACP, .45 Colt and .454 Casull. It's top-of-the-line stuff.

Let me put it this way. With 100 pieces of Hornady brass in my 460Smith, it lasted 5 fires before splitting. i am on my 12th load with starline.
