Starline Brass, the good, the bad, the ugly

[NWBLKTAIL]

I’ve used a lot of it now, none with a ton of firings but up to 5x on 5.56 200 pieces, and 4X on 200 pieces of 7mm08. I haven’t had to chuck any.

I’ve used 200 pieces 308 2x fired, 100 of 243win 3x fired

I’ll pick up 25-06 soon and try that as well

No complaints accuracy has been good

I picked up 150 7mm-08 cases and have been pretty happy with it so far. It definitely needs a little more work on the virgin brass than the Peterson. I had to run a mandrel through them and give them a hearty chamfer/debur to clean up the case mouths. Once I got through the first firing, they seem to be shooting really well.

Despite the extra work needed, it seems like decent brass for almost half the cost of Peterson and Alpha.

I don't like Hornady brass - too soft for me. Starline is good, same for most others. I've used starline in rifle and pistol.

My 30-06 shoots 1-inch at 250 yards with mixed brass. Never felt the need to pay $1 or more per brass but I don't shoot for distance - 250 is all I got around here.

Still working with my new 243 but also with mixed brass. It is close to an inch at 200 yards with diff federal factory ammo. That brass will get reloaded.

How does the capacity compare to other brass in 243 and 6CM?

As a general rule. Slightly less then hornady, more then "premium" brass.

Personally starline is all I use for rifle. My brass prep is well...Basically nothing, starline works great for me to use a handful of times then toss em and buy more. Cheap and easy.

For pistol (9mm), I buy bulk mixed brass thats been cleaned online. Super cheap for my high round count shooting (uspsa).
