PaseMkrBrass and +P loads
Will any good brass support a +P load for say 9mm? I have been using Starline brass for my reloads and was wondering if a +P load would required a special type of brass.

ramrod340I seriously doubt you will find any difference between quality brass as to std & +P other than the head stamp.

243winxbStarline brass- There is a difference in 45acp brass, the +P is thicker. If my memory is correct, 45acp is the only one.
Check Starlines website, info there. 25 April 2011, 20:26

Thanks learned something new today. Starline does list their 45ACP as thicker in the web with 2grs less capacity. The rest of the +ps state only headstamp.

243winxbAs for any good brass supporting a +P loading, you should always do this.
Use a starting load and work up the powder charge. If you change a component to a different brand, start over. If your loading a midrange load, not maximum +P,than starting over should not be needed when a component is different.
