.222 Remington (Small Rifle primer)

 

222 Remington Starline Brass

.222 Rem, Triple Deuce
1.687 - 1.693 O.A.L.

The .222 Remington was introduced in 1950 and quickly became the favorite caliber of many shooters and hunters. The "Triple Deuce" found a lot of success as a benchrest caliber due to its inherent accuracy and the small caliber/high velocity combination made it a great choice for all types of varmint hunting. While the .222 Remington has slipped in popularity to calibers such as the .223 Remington, it is still available from several rifle manufacturers and is just as capable of a cartridge as it ever was.


.223 Basic (Small Rifle primer)

223 Basic Brass

Un-Tapered (W/O Caliber Designation) (for "Wildcats")

This brass is the same as our standard .223 Remington brass except that it has not been formed and has no caliber designation on the head stamp. It should work perfectly for most .223 Remington based wildcats. This brass has not been annealed, and will require a body anneal prior to forming, and possibly a neck anneal after forming, depending on how far it is necked down. Wall thickness at the mouth of this brass is approximately .009", which is the same as our .223 brass prior to forming (the walls will get thicker when formed down, and the case will also get longer). Length is approximately 1.800"

*Since this is a basic case, and Starline has no control over how it is formed, we accept no liability and offer no warranty in its use or your inability to properly form cases. Since this case has not been formed there may be more out-of-round mouths than normal.

Calibers that this could possibly be formed into: 6mm TCU, 6.5 TCU, 7mm TCU, 6x45mm, .25-45 Sharps, 6mm Mongoose, 7.62x40WT, 7Raptor, .357 MAX AR, etc.


.223 Remington (Small Rifle primer)

223 Remington Brass

.223 Rem, .223, 5.56, 5.56mm Nato, 5.56x45mm

The .223 Remington is one of the most widely used center fire cartridges today. Tracing its roots back to the .222 Remington, the .223 was designed to achieve certain ballistics for military use. The .223 Remington, when in its military form, is known as the 5.56x45mm NATO. The differences between the two being the pressures that they are loaded at and the chamber in the firearm itself.

The .223 has established itself as an excellent varmint and target caliber. It dominates all other rifle calibers in competitions such as 3-gun, and has a dedicated following in several other sports due to its low recoil and accuracy potential. Those two attributes coupled with good velocity allow it to excel as a varmint gun also.

When loaded at .223 Remington pressures, our brass is safe to use in any firearm chambered for .223 or 5.56x45mm. If loaded to 5.56 pressures, you need to use firearms labeled for use with 5.56mm. It can be unsafe to fire 5.56mm ammunition in firearms with a .223 Remington chamber.


224 Valkyrie (Small Rifle primer)


224 Valkyrie Brass

1.588 - 1.592 O.A.L.

The .224 Valkyrie was introduced in late 2017 by Federal. Unlike many calibers in the past that have been a joint effort between an ammo company and a single firearm company, the Valkyrie is already being chambered by several AR-15 manufacturers such as LaRue, JP Enterprises, and CMMG as well as several barrel makers such as Satern and Lothar-Walther.

The .224 Valkyrie is touted for its long range capabilities. While not the fastest factory .22 caliber AR chambering, its short fat case allows it to fit longer, high BC bullets. This means that it can keep a 90 grain Sierra bullet supersonic to 1300 yards, with much less recoil than other calibers. AR type rifles can be converted by changing the barrel and using a 6.8 SPC bolt and magazines.


.243 Win (Large Rifle primer)

243 Win Brass

 

.243 Winchester, 243, 6×52mm

Introduced in 1955 by Winchester, the .243 Winchester is one of the most popular and versatile cartridges available.  Derived from the .308 Winchester, the .243's low recoil and flat trajectory make it an excellent all around cartridge.  Due to a wide bullet selection being readily available, the .243 can be applied just as well on the shooting bench looking over prairie dog town as it can waiting for a whitetail from 15’ up a tree.  The 243’s accuracy potential is excellent making it a popular choice of competitive shooters.



.260 Remington (Large Rifle primer)

 

260 Remington Brass

**6.5-08, **6.5-08 A-Square, .260 Rem

Introduced in 1997, the .260 Remington is another wildcat turned commercial cartridge. Utilizing a 6.5mm (.264") diameter bullet, the .260 has a lot less recoil than its .308 parent case, but shoots much flatter. This has made it very popular in many shooting sports, and makes it an excellent choice for hunting in much of the U.S.

** As with all commercialized wildcat cartridges, minor variations in Pre-SAAMI chambers may not headspace properly or may have clearance issues with SAAMI spec brass


.277 Wolverine (Small Rifle primer)

277 Wolverine Brass

The .277 Wolverine is a 5.56 NATO based wildcat that was designed to give near 6.8 SPC performance out of an AR-15 type rifle, without requiring a specialized bolt or magazines. Since the Wolverine only requires a barrel change, it is one of the most affordable AR conversions. This is touted as an all-purpose cartridge that not only gives excellent down range performance for its size, but it is also well suited to pistol or SBR, and subsonic/suppressed applications.


.30-30 Winchester (Large Rifle primer)
 

30-30 Winchester Brass

 

.30 WCF
2.027 - 2.033 O.A.L.

 

Introduced in early 1895 for the Winchester Model 1894 lever-action rifle, the .30-30 was the USA's first small-bore, sporting rifle cartridge designed for smokeless powder. Jacketed bullets for the .30-30 are .308 inches in nominal diameter. Cast lead bullets for the .30-30 are also popular and usually are .309 inches in diameter.


 

The .30-30 is considered to be the "entry-class" for modern big-game hunting cartridges. While it is very effective on deer-sized and black bear-sized game, most commercial loadings are limited in effective range to about 200 yd for that purpose, except when using ballistic-tip ammunition. The cartridge is typically loaded with bullets weighing between 150 and 170 grains but lighter loads are possible. Bullets of up to 180 gr can be used, but the overall length restrictions of the lever-action rifles most commonly chambered for this round limit their usefulness.

Many bolt action and single shot rifles are now being produced in this caliber as well.


.308 Match (Small Rifle primer)

 
308 Match Brass



.308 Winchester "Palma", .308 Winchester Small Rifle 


The .308 Match is our small primer version of the .308 Winchester case. Many competitive shooters prefer the consistent velocities produced by small rifle primers. Like all of our other small primer rifle cases, we utilize our standard .080" flash hole diameter, as we feel it gives better ignition with slower burning and harder to ignite powders, making it more user friendly than many of the small primer/small flash hole versions of this caliber*.

For the Large Rifle Primer version, please see our 
.308 Win.

*As with all types of cases this large with small primer pockets, it will require care in powder and primer selection in cooler temperatures to prevent hang fires. Single-based propellants are generally easier to ignite and a quality primer such as the Remington 7 1/2 BR are recommended.
 


 

.308 Win (Large Rifle primer)

308 Win Brass

.308 Winchester, .308, 7.62mm Nato, 7.62x51mm

The venerable .308 Winchester has made quite a name for itself since it was first introduced in 1952. The .308 and its military equivalent, the 7.62 x 51mm Nato, is a very efficient cartridge that has excellent ballistics, while still being fairly easy on the shoulder. That, and its inherent accuracy have kept it thriving as both a competition and hunting caliber.

.308 Match


.338 Federal (Large Rifle primer)

338 Federal Brass

(.338-08**)

One of the newest members of the .308 Winchester family, the .338 Federal was introduced in 2006 by Federal and Sako. It is capable of achieving the same muzzle energy as some magnum calibers with less recoil.  It also fits in standard length short action rifles and AR-10's without sacrificing magazine capacity.  It hits harder than the .308, and shoots flatter than the .358 Winchester, making it an excellent choice for a close to mid-range hunting caliber.  One thing to consider when selecting hunting bullets for the .338 Federal is that most bullets available in .338 caliber were designed
for higher velocity cartridges.  Generally bullets under 200 grains or ones specifically designed for it are your best option for hunting.  Check with your bullet manufacturer of choice for their recommendation.
**Not all .338-08 wildcats were chambered the same and may not headspace correctly with factory .338 Federal brass or ammunition
.

8.8x51mm

Based on the .308 Winchester, the .358 Winchester was introduced by Winchester in 1955 for use in lever and bolt-action rifles.  While it had not seen the widespread popularity as the other .308 -based cartridges, its brush busting capability still makes it an excellent choice for hunting any of North America's big game.  With the recent rise in popularity of AR-10 style rifles, the .358 Winchester is starting to be chambered in it because the .358 gives the AR-10 just a little more thump than the .308 Winchester.


 

.444 Marlin (Large Rifle primer)

444 Marlin Brass

The 444 Marlin was introduced in the mid- 60's to give their model 336 Lever gun a boost in horsepower.  Over the years the .444 has been offered in a number of rifles and even a few pistols. It is another caliber that is seeing new life due to the changing game laws in many states allowing straight wall cartridges for deer hunting where they were previously limited to slug guns and muzzleloaders.


 

.450 Bushmaster (Small Rifle primer)
 

450 Bushmaster Brass

The 450 Bushmaster was designed as a close range, big bore hunting caliber for the AR-15 platform.  As with most AR cartridge conversions, it only requires swapping out the upper receiver.

0.892 - 0.896 O.A.L.

The Cowboy .45 Special is a case that is optimized for use with light loads in .45 Colt caliber revolvers for Cowboy Action Shooting. Light loads with excessive airspace are a recipe for case splits and erratic function. By using the Cowboy .45 Special case, with its .45 Colt rim and .45 Auto length, the problem no longer exists. While many claim that .45 Auto load data can be used in this caliber, it is important to realize the limitations of the firearm it is chambered in and only use loads that fall within the pressure range of that firearm. Generally these can be loaded using .45 Colt dies and a modified (shortened) crimp die, or .45 Auto Rim roll crimp die.

2.596 - 2.603 O.A.L.

This is a .45-70 based case that is 2.6 inches long and is suitable for smokeless or black powder loads. When loading with black powder, annealing of mouth may be necessary to allow case to properly seal chamber due to lower pressures generated by these loads. Our case is produced very strong to withstand high pressure loads associated with smokeless hunting loads and since the only way to make brass harder is to work the material our only option is to leave them stiffer so the customers can anneal for specific application. See annealing procedure in Commonly Asked Questions, section #4.

455 Webley MKII (Large Pistol primer)

455 Webley MKII

The .455 Webley MKII is a British revolver cartridge designed for their military in the late 1800's. This brass will work for all of the Webley MKII, MKIII,MKIV, MKV, and MKVI cartridges. The original MKI case is longer, but this will work as a short substitute for it. It is important to note that the Webley cartridges designations don't necessarily coincide with that model revolver, and smokeless powder loads may not be safe in all revolvers.

  
*It is important to note that many Webley revolvers in the US have been modified to use the much thicker rimmed .45 Auto Rim cartridge by machining the cylinder to accept the thicker rims. Firearms modified as such will not work with standard .455 MKII brass.
 


 

458 HAM'R (Small Rifle primer)

 

458 HAM'R Brass

The .458 HAM'R is a .458 SOCOM based caliber that was designed by Bill Wilson to push a 300 grain projectile 200fps faster than the SOCOM. Due to limitations of the bolt and extension of the AR-15, the .458 HAM'R is chambered in a hybrid AR platform that utilizes a larger diameter bolt and extension. This allows the .458 HAM'R to reach its full potential while still being a fairly lightweight carbine.


 

458 SOCOM Brass (Large Pistol primer)

1.745 - 1.750 O.A.L.

The 5.56x45mm NATO is the military version of the .223 Remington, which is one of the most widely used centerfire cartridges today. Starline’s 5.56x45mm brass is identical to Starline’s .223 Remington brass except for a slight change in the metallurgy making it harder at the base of the case. 

When loaded at .223 Remington pressures, Starline's .223 brass is safe to use in any firearm chambered for .223 or 5.56x45mm. If loaded to 5.56 pressures, you need to use firearms labeled for use with 5.56mm. It can be unsafe to fire 5.56mm ammunition in firearms with a .223 Remington chamber.

The .500 Auto Max was designed by Big Horn Armory for use in their AR500 rifle, which is based on the AR-10 sized platform. The .500 Auto Max is essentially a rimless .500 S&W Magnum.  It is a very versatile cartridge; it can handle anything from prairie dogs to pachyderms to Peterbilts, truck stopping power in a platform weighing less than 10 pounds.  The .500 Auto Max uses the same reloading dies, shell holders & load data as the .500 S&W Mag, with the exception of requiring a taper crimp instead of the standard roll crimp. This is due to the Auto Max head spacing off of the mouth of the case instead of the rim.


 

500 Linebaugh Brass (Large Rifle primer)

 

500 Linebaugh Brass

The .475 and .500 Linebaugh are among the most powerful hunting revolver calibers available today. Several custom gun makers chamber special revolvers for this proprietary cartridge. The .500 Linebaugh uses a .510" diameter projectile.   


 

500 S&W Mag Brass (Large Rifle primer)

500 S&W Mag Brass

500 Smith & Wesson Brass, 500 S&W Brass, 500 Mag Brass

The Initial run of 500 S&W Mag (R) cases was built to use large pistol primer per Smith & Wesson and Cor-bon specifications. On July 28, 2003, Smith & Wesson and Cor-bon changed specification of primer pocket to be large rifle. Rifle primers are same diameter as pistol except they are approximately .006" taller. This was done to prevent primer from being pierced by firing pin when loaded with max loads and heavy bullets (bullets over 400 grains). It was determined that hole in primer allowed pressure to damage firing pin and bushing, kind of like a cutting torch and the harder cup of a rifle primer will prevent occurrence. All cases sold by Starline, Inc. after July 28, 2003, will contain a large rifle primer pocket to accept a large rifle primer.

Cor-bon has also tested and recommends CCI 250 primers (Magnum Large Rifle). Our new cases will have an "R" after the "Mag" on head stamp to signify rifle pocket. If you have previously purchased 500 cases without "R" on head stamp and wish to modify, you can use a large rifle pocket uniformer to deepen primer pocket to accept large rifle primers by deepening pocket approximately .006". This will not affect integrity of case. For concerns regarding situation contact Smith & Wesson or Cor-bon as they designed case and subsequently changed it.


 500 Special (Large Rifle primer)

500 Special Brass

500 S&W Special

The .500 Special was introduced in 2004 by Corbon for use with reduced loads in the .500 S&W Magnum revolvers. With a case length equal to a 44 magnum (.350 shorter than standard .500 S&W Mag) it allows users to shoot with dramatically less recoil while still retaining performance greater than the 44 Magnum.


 56-50 Spencer (Taylor's) Brass (Large Rifle primer)

56-50 Spencer (Taylor's) Brass

Case mouth may need to be annealed if not sealing properly with low pressure loads. Maximum bullet seating depth is .375". 


 

6.5 Creedmoor (Large Rifle primer)

6.5 Creedmoor Brass

6.5mm CM, 6.5mm Creedmoor

The 6.5 Creedmoor was designed as a target caliber in 2007 by Hornady but has become an extremely popular hunting caliber as well. While it isn't as long as some of the other 6.5 caliber short action calibers, such as the .260 Remington, the Creedmoor utilizes a 30° shoulder and very little body taper to help it achieve similar ballistics. The shorter length also gives it more versatility as far as bullet seating depth is concerned. Almost every major rifle company offers either a bolt-action rifle or a modern sporting rifle in the 6.5 Creedmoor due to its versatility and inherent accuracy.

Our 6.5 Creedmoor brass uses a Large Rifle Primer. This is the standard for this round and it is what many prefer due to its reliable ignition no matter what temperature you are shooting in or the burn rate of your powder. 
For the Small Rifle Primer version, please see our SR 6.5 CM case. 


 

6.5 Grendel (Small Rifle primer)

 

6.5 Grendel Brass


6.5x39mm

The 6.5 Grendel was designed for use in an AR-15 type rifle to offer ballistics similar to the .308 Winchester, with less recoil. This flat shooting round utilizes the inherently accurate, high ballistic coefficient 6.5mm diameter bullet. Its short case length allows it to use some of the longer, heavier match bullets, making this caliber one of the best choices for long range shooting out of an AR. With proper bullet selection, this caliber is no slouch in the field either, being suitable for deer-size game as well as varmint hunting. 

Conversion of an AR to 6.5 Grendel requires a new bolt, barrel and magazines to feed the larger diameter cartridge. Several companies offer completed AR uppers and firearms, and reloading dies are readily available. Several manufacturers are now producing bolt action rifles in this caliber, many of which are built on “mini” actions, making for a lightweight rifle with plenty of range.

Our 6.5 Grendel brass uses the standard .080" flash hole as opposed to a few companies that use the .060" flash hole.
 

 


 

6.8 Basic (Small Rifle primer)

 

This brass is the same as our standard 6.8 SPC brass except that it has not been formed and has no caliber designation on the head stamp. It should work perfectly for most 6.8 SPC based wildcats. This brass has not been annealed, and will require a body anneal prior to forming, and possibly a neck anneal after forming, depending on how far it is necked down. Wall thickness at the mouth of this brass is approximately .009", which is the same as our 6.8 brass prior to forming (the walls will get thicker when formed down, and the case will also get longer). Length is approximately 1.720".

*Since this is a basic case, and Starline has no control over how it is formed, we accept no liability and offer no warranty in its use or your inability to properly form cases. We also recommend keeping pressures within SAAMI limits of the parent case. Since this case has not been formed there may be more out-of-round mouths than normal.

Calibers that this could possibly be formed into: American .30 BHW, .30 HRT, 6.5x6.8, 6.8 GPC, etc.  


 

6.8 SPC (Small Rifle primer)

6.8mm Remington SPC, 6.8 Remington

The 6.8 SPC was designed for the military as a cartridge that landed between the 5.56mm NATO and the 7.62mm NATO to be used in the AR-15/M-4 platform. It loses very little magazine capacity versus the 5.56mm (25 vs. 30 rounds), but has better knockdown power without much more recoil.

This caliber works very well in short barreled rifles and is an easy conversion for an AR-15, requiring only a barrel, bolt, and magazine swap.
For someone looking for an AR-15 for hunting, this caliber is a logical choice, especially for recoil-sensitive shooters.

Our brass is safe to use in both 6.8 SPC and 6.8 SPC II chambers.


 

6mm Creedmoor (Large Rifle primer)

6 Creedmoor, 6 CM

The 6mm Creedmoor is the little brother to the very popular 6.5 Creedmoor. It has similar ballistics to the .243 Winchester, but its shorter length allows long, heavy bullets to be seated in the magazine. This caliber is an excellent choice for hunting, but its popularity was gained as a competition cartridge. Some of the new competitions, such as the Precision Rifle Series, require a lot of shooting and this cartridge is easy on the shoulder, even compared to the 6.5 Creedmoor. There are several companies now making bolt action and AR-10 type rifles for this caliber.

For the Small Rifle Primer of this caliber, please see our 
SR 6mm CM.  


 

7.62x25 Tokarev Brass (Small Pistol primer)

7.62x25 Tokarev Brass

7.62mm Tokarev, 7.62x25mm Russian Tokarev

This case is very similar, except for the difference in length, to the .30 Mauser. Due to higher operating pressures, if the .30 Mauser cases are fired with hotter 7.62x25 loads in the CZ-52, it will tear the neck off some cases. 30 Mauser O.A.L. is .980" to .985" while 7.62x25 O.A.L. is .958" to .962". We recommend using bullets of .308" diameter in our brass.  


 

7.62x39mm Russian (Large Rifle primer)

The 7.62x39mm was developed in Russia as a mid-size military cartridge and is among the most widespread military cartridges used today. The AK47 and its variants, along with the SKS, have made this cartridge very popular in the civilian market due to the sheer number of affordable surplus firearms available. This caliber can also be had in AR-15 type rifles (requiring only a different bolt, barrel and magazine), as well as the Ruger Mini-30. Bolt action rifles are now available from companies such as CZ, Ruger, and Howa.

This close-medium range caliber is suitable for varmints and deer-size game when loaded with suitable expanding-type bullets.

Our brass is sized for use with the standard .311" diameter bullets, it will need to be neck sized if used with .308" diameter bullets.  


 

7mm-08 Remington (Large Rifle primer)

 

**7mm/.308, 7mm-08 Rem

While the 7mm-08 Remington was first commercially manufactured in the early 80's, its roots can be traced back to the late 50's as a popular wildcat cartridge.

This flat shooting, mild recoiling caliber has a devout following of both hunters and competition shooters. The wide selection of 7mm (.284") caliber bullets makes it a very flexible cartridge. It is widely available in both semi-auto and bolt action rifles as well as several single-shots and a few pistols. 

**As with all commercialized wildcat cartridges, minor variations in Pre-SAAMI chambers may not headspace properly, or may have clearance issues with SAAMI spec brass.

9 MAK, 9x18, 9x18 MAK, 9mm Russian Makarov

9MM Makarov, or 9X18mm, uses a .363" diameter bullet. Used in the small Makarov surplus pistols that are readily available now in the United States.


 

9MM Steyr (Small Pistol primer)

9MM Steyr Brass

The 9mm Steyr is an Austrian cartridge designed for use in the Steyr M1912 pistol and was chambered in some Steyr MP34 submachine guns. As with all Starline products, our 9mm Steyr brass is made to tighter tolerance than the CIP standard for this cartridge.


 

9MM Win Mag Brass (Magnum Small Pistol primer)

 

9mm Winchester Magnum

Basically a lengthened 9mm Luger, the 9mm Winchester Magnum was developed for use in the Wildey semi-automatic handgun. This cartridge develops near .357 Magnum performance but is generally used for making 9mm Luger blanks.


 9MM+P Brass (Small Pistol primer)

9mm + Power, 9mm + Pressure

9MM+P has no difference from the standard 9mm Luger other than head stamp designation for load segregation. Due to standard case design, it will handle +P pressures with no problems. **NOT RECOMMENDED FOR USE IN S&W SHIELD PISTOLS WITH NEAR-MAX OR +P LOADS, DUE TO POORLY SUPPORTED CHAMBER CONDITIONS**


 9X21 Brass (Small Pistol primer)

Designed for use in countries that banned the use of handguns in military chambering, the 9x21mm required only minor chamber reaming of firearms built for 9x19mm.


 

9x23 Comp Brass (Small Rifle or Small Pistol primer)

9 Super Comp, 9x23 Win, 9mm Super Comp

The 9mm Super Comp (9x23) is of a new design with a new head stamp as of 7-7-03. We have changed the head stamp to read 9x23 Comp to allow easier identification because it looked too similar to the .38 Super Comp head stamp. At the same time, we slightly changed the interior design to allow the seating of heavier bullets (i.e. 147 grains) but change will in no way affect performance of case for use with lighter bullets.  


 

Grendel Basic (Small Rifle primer)

Un-tapered (W/No caliber designation)

This brass is the same as our standard 6.5 Grendel brass except that it has not been formed and has no caliber designation on the head stamp. It should work for most 6.5 Grendel and 7.62x39mm based wildcats. This brass has not been annealed, and will require a body anneal prior to forming, and possibly a neck anneal after forming, depending on how far it is necked down. Wall thickness at the mouth of this brass is approximately .009", which is the same as our 6.5 Grendel brass prior to forming (the walls will get thicker when formed down, and the case will also get longer). Length is approximately 1.550"

*Since this is a basic case, and Starline has no control over how it is formed, we accept no liability and offer no warranty in its use or your inability to properly form cases. Since this case has not been formed there may be more out-of-round mouths than normal.

Our Grendel Basic case can be formed into 6.5 Grendel and 7.62x39 based wildcats such as the .22-6.5 Grendel, 6mm Grendel, 243 LBC and 9x39mm.


 SR 6.5CM (Small Rifle primer)

Small Primer 6.5 Creedmoor

This is our Small Rifle Primer version of the 6.5 Creedmoor. The 6.5 Creedmoor was designed as a target caliber in 2007 by Hornady but has become an extremely popular hunting caliber as well. While it isn't as long as some of the other 6.5 caliber short action calibers, such as the .260 Remington, the Creedmoor utilizes a 30° shoulder and very little body taper to help it achieve similar ballistics. The shorter length also gives it more versatility as far as bullet seating depth is concerned. Almost every major rifle manufacturer offers either a bolt-action rifle or a modern sporting rifle in 6.5 Creedmoor caliber due to its versatility and inherent accuracy.

Our SR6.5CM brass uses a Small Rifle Primer. Many target shooters prefer the Small Primer for the increased consistency and accuracy. While other small pocket manufacturers use a smaller than standard flash hole, Starline uses our standard .080" flash hole, as we feel that it gives better ignition with some of the slower powders and in cooler conditions* (and you won't be breaking off de-capping pins either!) The Small Primer version also maintains primer pocket size much better than the large primer version under higher pressures. For our Large Primer version please see our 
6.5 Creedmoor case.

*As with all types of cases this large with small primer pockets, it will require care in powder and primer selection in cooler temperatures to prevent hang fires. Single-based propellants are generally easier to ignite and a quality primer such as the Remington 7 1/2 BR are recommended.


 

SR 6mm CM (Small Rifle primer)

6mm Creedmoor Small pocket

The SR 6mm CM is our small rifle primer version of the 6mm Creedmoor. Just like our SR 6.5 CM, we utilize the standard .080" flash hole diameter, as we feel this gives better ignition with slower burning and hard to ignite powders.* 

The 6mm Creedmoor is the little brother to the very popular 6.5 Creedmoor. It has similar ballistics to the .243 Winchester, but its shorter length allows long, heavy bullets to be seated in the magazine. This caliber is an excellent choice for hunting, but its popularity was gained as a competition cartridge. Some of the new competitions, such as the Precision Rifle Series, require a lot of shooting and this cartridge is easy on the shoulder, even compared to the 6.5 Creedmoor. There are several companies now making bolt action and AR-10 type rifles for this caliber. 

For the Large Primer Pocket version, please see our 
6mm Creedmoor .

*As with all types of cases this large with small primer pockets, it will require care in powder and primer selection in cooler temperatures to prevent hang fires. Single-based propellants are generally easier to ignite and a quality primer such as the Remington 7 1/2 BR are recommended.


 

38-55 Brass (2.080") (Large Rifle primer)


38-55 Win, 38-55 Winchester, 38-55 Ballard

The .38-55 is the standard length of 2.080" which is the same as Winchester case. Case mouth has thinner walls (.0072" average thickness at mouth) than the Winchester case allowing for use of the wide variety of bullet diameters, especially in tight chamber/large bore situations. Head stamp reads *-* .38-55.

 


 

45-70 Gov't Brass (Large Rifle primer)


45-70 Government Brass, 45-70 Marlin Brass, 45-70 Govt Brass

Our .45-70 brass has been tested at elevated pressures suitable for Magnum Heavy Hunting Loads in adequate gun systems. When loading with black powder, annealing of mouth may be necessary to allow case to properly seal chamber due to lower pressures generated by these loads. Our case is produced very strong to withstand high pressure loads associated with smokeless hunting loads and since the only way to make brass harder is to work the material our only option is to leave them stiffer so the customers can anneal for specific application.


 45-90 Brass (.45-2.4) (Large Rifle primer)

45-90 Brass (.45-2.4)

45-82 Win, 45-85 Win,45-90 Win, 45-90 Winchester

This is a .45-70 based case that is 2.4 inches long and is suitable for smokeless or black powder loads. When loading with black powder, annealing of mouth may be necessary to allow case to properly seal chamber due to lower pressures generated by these loads. Our case is produced very strong to withstand high pressure loads associated with smokeless hunting loads and since the only way to make brass harder is to work the material our only option is to leave them stiffer so the customers can anneal for specific application. See annealing procedure in Commonly Asked Questions, section #4.
