Bought- amazing price, $87 SHIPPED.
Looks like there's a limited quantity (said 3 left when I bought it).
Just arrived- fast shipping. The brass is better than expected, well trimmed, cleaned brilliantly. It is mostly LC, with some other stuff thrown in. I was seriously considering doing my own .223->300BLK, but at this price, it simply doesn't make sense.
The picture shows 223 cases. Also, you will have feed problems using mixed brass due to variations in case wall thickness.
A post by a competitor might have some value in it. But I don't think case wall thickness means much when you run it through a resizer as part of loading.
Actually case wall thickness is very important in 300 blackout because of neck diameter after loading. Mixed brass will case you problems most of the time.
What does that have to do with feeding? In any case, you've convinced me, I'll buy from him instead of you. You downvoted my comment (about another vendor's product) makes me think you're probably not a good businessman.
I'll post up my review of this brass when I get it. The $50 I save over RockeyBrass will certainly allow me to throw out any brass that has 'case wall thickness at the mouth' issues. (whatever).
You can read about the issues here: http://www.massreloading.com/300BLK.html...
Excerpt: You can save yourself quite a bit of time and effort if you use only cases with the proper wall thickness. Take a look at the chamber drawing in Figure 1. Notice that the diameter of the chamber at the location of the case neck is 0.3350". Since the bullet has a maximum diameter of 0.309", that leaves only 0.026" of total space available for the brass. There should be about 0.002" of total clearance around the neck for reliable feeding, so the maximum case wall thickness is about 0.012". Keep in mind that 0.012" leaves almost no room for irregularities in case concentricity, so in reality you're better off with cases that are slightly thinner than this; a 0.0110" to 0.0115" wall thickness is just about perfect.
But what do I know? I only run a business doing this.
If you do all the steps he has in that article, I could see you charging as much as you do. Do you use a Forster power trimmer, and Giraud annealing machine?
That has nothing to do with the fact that some brass is too thick to turn into 300 blackout, mixed headstamp will contain brass that is too thick. I am just trying to give people fair warning before they buy this and load it up only to have frustration. I linked the article as explanation about why you should be careful which headstamp your brass is in 300 blackout.
Edit to add: We use power trimmers on our automated presses, annealing is an option but most of the time unnecessary. Our prices are based on the quality of brass that we offer. Our brass is single headstamp NATO brass of the appropriate case wall thickness sources from an indoor range.
