Pistol Brass 45 colt
I need some more 45 colt pistol brass

Is starline brass any good for repeted reloading?

Also I have some CBC stamped brass that was magtech ammo and I read that there are problems installing primers in this stuff and I can see that the pocket isnt chamfered and has a tight sharp shoulder primer pocket. This CBC also looks like it has a high base inside and weights 10 grs more than my Remington 45 colt, Is this CBC stuff undesirable?

In my experience Starline brass is some of the best there is. I have reloaded the CBC brass and don't really have any problem with it, seems just as good as any other.

I've used CBC brass in some rifle chamberings, worked/lasted as well as most of the Win or Rem I've used over the years.

Starline is exc brass, a bit thicker than RP, you are good to go with it.

IMHO Starline is good stuff and I buy it when I can find it.

i personally think Federal makes the best 45 Colt brass. but i don't think you can get any unless you buy factory ammo. having said that i mainly use Starline (i have a small stash of Federal)for repeated 30K psi loads and it lasts way longer than RP or WW brass does.

Just chamfer the primer pocket if it's too sharp to get the primer in easily. Takes just a few seconds...

I was thinking of doing that

Somewhere i read several guys complaining about dificulty in priming the CBC brass. Maybe they were useing the big press to seat em

I tryed it with my RCBS hand held and worked slick as goose shit, no problem

Used a lot of Starline and reloaded the same cases many times with no problems.

As the other posters have said. Starline is very good brass. So is "Top Brass" from Scharch Mfg. in Colorado.

I've loaded some 45 LC into CBC brass and it worked as advertised. I'd think the biggest concern with 45 LC would be the older mushroom style (is that the correct terminology?) heads that aren't as strong as the standard brass web construction.


...I guess the correct term is "ballon head".
