S&B and other headstamp cases should be checked with magnet to ensure they are not brass plated steel cases.S&B !!!
Send it all to me, I like both of those.Blazer, and more times than not... the *FC*. The older FC is fine though.
neck tension was not an option supplied on these
I’d love to have a couple hundred expanded like that for my Makarov conversions. The only hard part about converting 9x19 to 9x18 is getting the brass sufficiently expanded to resize it properly.Overly expanded 9mm Major brass shot by USPSA Open Division match shooters and left on the ground/range floor for us reloaders to sort out.
When I encounter significantly increased resizing effort, I check the brass with a barrel. If it won't readily fully chamber with a "plonk", it gets resized again but if it fails the second time, it gets tossed for recycling.
I'll take that too, good stuff, but like LL posted, check them with a magnet.S&B !!!
Send those to me. I got C-H primer pocket swager and growing bucket of brass that needs to be swaged.I also scrap crimped 9MM cases, I have too much to worry with it.
I can see their utility if I were casting my own. So, though they've made it to my bad brass bucket... if I ever start casting I can still pull 'em outSend it all to me, I like both of those.
Stepped cases and Amerc get scrapped. I also scrap crimped 9MM cases, I have too much to worry with it.
I don't anneal and I run the same batch thru the reload cycle until i see beginning of splits. I have an old circle magnifier light I run each shell under before I size etc. It probably helps that I don't load 9mm on the high end (hot).And for what reason would you throw them away?
Unless they are steel, a step inside the case, or berdan primed, I keep them all.Without a second thought which ones do you toss immediately?
Everyone will start with AMERC but I have only seen ONE piece in the last five years.
Unfortunately, 9mm Major match shooters practice at same ranges we shoot at too and most won't reuse the brass and leave them on the ground/range floor.@LiveLife, I've never had the pleasure of picking up brass after a shooting match, so I can't imagine the frustration.
Enjoy the luxury of 9MM brass. If you truly like playing with brass buy a 308 semi-auto.
