krakyAnyone tried Graff & Sons brass?
Wow was just on their website and what good prices. Like 100 270 win for $12.99. 30-06 for $14.99. Plus with an order of $20 your shipping is just $3.75--maybe time to stock up!?

jstevensI've been using it in 9.3x62, can't tell any difference between it and anyone else's brass.

fla3006I use it for 9.3 & 7x57. As good as any.

I have been shooting some 6mm PPC brass for non-BR use. Compared to, say, Lapua (in 6mm BR), the Graff's brass is not quite as consistent - e.g. wider weight distribution and neck thickness variance. But the brass is certainly workable, and I'm up to about 5 loads in some cases, with no signs of the brass giving in.

krakyI've got a buddy who wants me to reload about 80 270win for this fall----says he's "sure" they all came out of the same gun. Lets see......100 brand new ones for $12.99 vrs, me polishing, sizing, screwing around checking headspace, maybe trimming, for sure chamfering........that makes my time worth about $2.50 an hour. Screw that idea!!!!! I'm sure they're most likely made by win or rem. I ordered 100 in '06 to take a look. Also tried some lapua brass that looked really reasonable from Graffs. Why not spoil me??!!

dellorobe careful that it's not the "clearance" brass which was discounted due to off-center flash holes. I ordered some of the 6.5x55 and sent it right back (thanks Grafs for the excellent customer service, as always).
the other stuff, i.e., 7.5 swiss is quite nice and I wish I had more. the 7.62x54R seems to have deep primer pockets, though I haven't fired any yet.

arky65it ain't match grade but should work ok for hunting. i have used graf 7.62X54 it works ok. but the 22-250 brass i got from them has issues.
1) weight varys greatly
2) it does not size well

browningguyI've been using the 7.65x53 they sell and it's worked fine for my low pressure loads. The only thing I have to compare it to is Winchester and Federal brass in other calibers and it seems at least the same quality.
