N E 450 No228 gauge brass shotshells
Does anyone know who makes brass 28 gauge cases.
.450 No. 2,
The Brazilian firm CBC makes 28 gauge brass, and it is very good stuff. It and the Berdan primers are available from Old Western Scrounger in Yreka, California. The CBC primers seem to be the only ones available, and are a little too frail for hot loads in guns with sloppy, big firing pin holes.
Primers are about $3.00 per hundred and cases are less than $22.00 per 25.
Cheers from Grayest California,
