Star line brass production update

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I gave up on buying brass after waiting for a year and a half. SBR uses Starline brass and had a sale not long ago where they were selling loaded ammo for less than the cost to buy brass, bullets, powder and primers. I got 450 rounds in a GI ammo can and never looked back. Brass problem solved.

	I had and email from Starline saying it was available. I called right away, gave them my CC number, and was told it should ship in a few days. Woot woot
	If you were happy and you knew it, would you clap your hands?

	According to my back of the envelope calculations, the cost to load 50 rounds (purchasing brass, bullets, primers and powder) is about $60. Meanwhile, you can buy 50 loaded rounds with this same Starline brass from SBR for $45.99? I occasionally buy empty brass when I can’t find loaded ammo to supply the brass I need. But in this case I think it makes far more sense to buy the loaded ammo in order to get the brass.

	Mike, I agree right now that SBR is probably a better way to go. I had back ordered this and don’t feel right about not taking what I ordered. And SBR didn’t have that deal they have right now when I ordered or I would have probably done that. And I do like to use new brass to form 357 AMP. I just ordered a good bit of 22 Savage HP loaded ammo. They are FMJ but I will shoot them and reload them to hunting rounds. It makes way more sense as that ammo is crazy expensive from some places.

	I agree also. I committed and don't feel right about canceling either. Mike, you got a screaming deal, and i wish i couldhave gottenon that deal. SBR does show 44AMP for $45.99. Plus $22+ for shipping. Sad I didn't get on the previous deal, but happy I got some brass now.

	My handloads are far superior in every way compared to factory ammo. Given the limited round count an Auto Mag frame is allegedly capable of withstanding, wasting life to fire-form factory ammo brass is undesirable. I have the same approach towards precision rifles. I feel better buying the best components and only putting the absolute best ammo through them.

	www.hopmunitions.com has Starline 44 AutoMag brass listed for $37.99 per 100. I just ordered 200 so I will see how it goes.
	"This is the 44 Magnum Auto Mag and holds a 300 grain cartridge and if properly used it can remove the fingerprints"!!!
