lb404360 No. 2 Brass
Whom if anyone, produces Good 360 No. 2
Reloadable brass? I need 150 rounds of brass before I buy the double!!!
Make it out of 450 NE.
But I thought Bertam made some, not sure of quality.

Mike BrooksHuntingtons is showing the Ozzie brass @$80 p er box.
Or form from the 450 NE as 500N said. I've had pretty good luck with Bertram stuff.

DoubleDonDespite the rumors I have not had a problem with Bertram .360 No. 2 brass IF you anneal and fire form the cases first. If you don't fire form, they will split.
To fire form, load the brass with 7.5 gr. Bullseye topped with 40 gr. kitty litter which is then stuffed with 1 square of Charmin. Works like a champ for me. Observe the before and after shape of the Bertram brass. Big difference.
Jamison told me 2 years ago that it would be produced in 2010. That didn't happen. Perhaps 2011??

HuviusI use the Bertram brass in my double.
I fireform mine with a full charge and have had no problems at all.
I anneal them first though because the shoulder on the brass is way back from where it needs to be in my chambers.
You can't use the 450NE brass because the rim is thinner than the 360No.2
Loaded cartridge and fired in my gun.

That's very true.
What you actually need is 450 Base THICK RIM brass. This is the same as 450 NE except that it has (approx) .060" rim thickness.
Be aware that there are other problems associated with using 450 Thick Rim brass for use in the 360 No2.
