Have you priced any out of production obsolete caliber brass lately? Priced anything like available brass for .505 Gibbs? .....Must be that be you have not NEEDED brass for the more esoteric calibers and have not had occasion to price Bertram brass? We are lucky to have businesses like Robertson and Bertram that make brass that the “big companies” will not bother with because of too thin a margin. I doubt that Robertson or Bertram are becoming millionaires at their prices.....  | |||

Find out why it is that price. This is not your average brass. 577 BME 3"500 KILL ALL 358 GREMLIN 404-375 *we band of 45-70ers* (Founder) Single Shot Shooters Society S.S.S.S. (Founder) | |||

Meaning difficult to obtain brass, or quality? I've looked at their website before, but haven't the need to purchase yet. Graybird "Make no mistake, it's not revenge he's after ... it's the reckoning." | |||

I just formed 250 9.5x57 MS cases. At $5.25 each that would cost more than $1300.00. For that I could build another rifle, buy the dies and a new reloading press. Wait until I tell the wife how much money I just saved. | |||

There is brass there that I am certain is still in production. One example is the 22-250 brass they are wanting $4.84 for each piece. I always try to sell good used brass that has been fired 2-3 times for half of new price, so I would make a killing on my bunch of 22-250. Yeah, no way! LOL Dennis Life member NRA | |||

If I am not mistaken, all their brass is turned from bar stock. People say the quality is good. I just haven't had the need to buy it! Rusty We Band of Brothers!

Hey Tex, the OP was referring to RCC Brass, and it is turned. Your link to Huntingtons is Bertram brass which is drawn...... | |||

Thanks for the correction, not sure why I thought he was referring to Bertram..... . | |||

I’m not convinced that turned brass is better than drawn. The only head separation of a rook case I’ve ever had was with turned brass. | |||

400Whelen, yep, the 9.5X57 brass is easy to form as well as a plethora of others. A good source of reference is Donnelly's "Handloaders guide of Cartridge Conversions". Never mistake motion for action. | |||
