470 Capstick brass question Login/Join

Does anyone familiar with this caliber have any advice on brass? The options appear to be:

B.E.L.L.
Quality Cartridge Co.
A-Square
Hornady basic belted mag.

Specifically, is there any reason to stay away from one or the other, or any peculiarities of any one type. Thanks in advance.

Hornady basic brass. I used B.E.L.L. in my 458Lott and found the primer pockets to be loose straight from the factory. The Hornady will need to be trimmed to length and is then pretty much ready to go for the Capstick. I just need to get a 0.475 trimmer pilot as I cheated and necked them to 0.458, trimmed and then opened to 0.475. Not exactly ideal Red Face
Cheers...

Asquare is soft, just like bertram
Quality cart uses whoever's brass they can get... I believe their HH basic is hornady

hornady is good brass

bell or mast --- Now that it's Jamison, you will find the brass to be of premier quaility, and each lot is lab tested.

remember, these are the guys that do the chey-tac

Thanks to all of you, this helps a lot. Going to go with Hornady, the plus side is they are cheaper also.

Old a2 is soft fellas. Not the new a2. The new stuff test out at 85,000 psi. 15 reloads and still going.

moonova,
you might have the new new stuff, but their stuff was such crap that brand new CZ guns in 505 couldn't use it, due to being out of spec.
