It´s the discreet mark of Sellier¬Bellot, year 1978.

Is S&B brass known as being heavy and thick?

All I have to compare weight is WW 308 brass. 11 grains heavyer. Is it about the same wieght as Rem brass?

Perhaps I found it here:

Some components, like primers, are harder. But I neither know why S&B mark in this way, discreet, that cardrige. I´ve used some RP and some S&B but usually I don´t weight. Tomorrow perhaps could write some wheights I´ve some of both.

GSP,

Haven't tried it for years and S&B may have improved their quality standards & control since then but my experience has been that I've received better reloading results using "other" - read - any other brand name brass.

This scronged brass is abit beat up anyway. shot from a auto and hit the concrete.

I will just order some more WW brass

Welcome aboard, stephenmaturin-

Did you borrow your username from a series of nautical novels?

It is against the principles of being a range brass slut to actually order some brand name stuff. Take a deep breath, decap and resize those found jewels, and get on with life...

Lawndart, My real passion is dumpster diveing for double A hulls over at the shotgun side.

If it is S&B brass , I use it
I ran a primer pocket reamer in mine , as the primer pockets seemed to be shallow
It is heavyer than RP or WW brass
I use it for reduced kids loads , lite 30/30 class loads
Probely been loaded 12+ times
Anealed after 4 or 5 loads

Yes I am a brass whore

Amen to that. There has to be a country and western song with this theme.

Excuse me for go away of the topic, is for clear that S.Maturin is a nick taken from nautic novels of Patrick O´Brian, novels who I recomend to everybody.
