![]() Brass wasn’t too terribly dirty but definitely needed to be cleaned up before inspecting and sorting and loading. I would definitely buy again.īought 3000 rd box. Sometimes you’ll find some stepped cases and some crimped primer pockets but nothing terrible, especially for the price. I’ve ordered several several 3000 count boxes from PD. ![]() I have bought before a lot of hornady cases good buy no complaints Posted by James Hazeltine on May 23rd 2022Ĭlean w/primers lg quantity good price. Great packaging and working on cleaning in my tumbler. Very good quality, the head and rims very little to no wear. Great buy! Majority are Hornady and lots of Xtreme cases. They are very good brass, I will definitely order again! Posted by James hazeltine on Aug 29th 2022 5 Great deal cost effective cleaned once mostly Hornady brass. ![]() Save the crimped and NT brass for trading.I haven't opened the box yet and won't for a while. I think I may simply start looking at this as usable (FC, Blazer, PMC, WIN, PPU, and RP) and unusable (CBC, Amerc, Crimped, and NT) sorting.at least for me. After looking at all of these experiences, I must say that my experience seems to follow Bob's. Like I said, works for me, keeps the whole process moving smoothly, and the ammo is bombproof. I don't sort them, but using a 550 with no case feeder, I can glance at the headstamp as I'm placing the brass. It's evolved over 70,000 rounds or so, so I'm confident in my process. Could be me, but my system works-> for me. But in my experience those are the cases that usually jam up my press, have a smiley, or won't drop check. With the garbage brass, somebody else may have great luck with it. Minor thing, it's probably a function of bullet profile, seating depth, and my dies. Berdan, of course, is trashed from the beginning.As far as the Major vs. Whenever I drop check my loads and something doesn't pass, these are almost always the offenders. 45 Auto cases does not make any difference on target.įor Major I've had the best luck with FC, Blazer, PMC, WIN, PPU, and RP.For Minor I'll use all of the above as well as S&B, Herter's, and a few others.I have a box I toss the CBC, Amerc, Crimped, and NT in. I sorted a whole bunch of loaded rounds by head stamp and compared to really mixed head stamp cases (some I have no idea who the head stamp pertains to) and after several hundred 5 shot groups, the thoroughly mixed head stamp rounds gave a 0.28" smaller average group size (there was always a mixed head stamp and a matching head stamp 5-shot group for each load). If you are shooting standard handguns, time behind the trigger will of much more benefit than any case prep steps. If you are shooting a hunting grade rifle, then sort cases if it gives you a feeling of confidence. If you are shooting a 6mm PPC benchrest rifle, then sort cases by head stamp and weight. ![]() The 9x19 has never been a tack driver and time spent sorting cases can be better spent reloading and shooting. Other than that, checking each case with thumb pressure for bullet set back will take care of any problems. There is really only one reason to sort 9x19 brass-to find those few cases that are 0.750" or longer and save them for your accuracy/match loads.
