How good is range brass?
Can we all take a minute to appreciate how much work went into making this video? Weighing and volume testing 200 cases is not a quick or easy process. This man spent many, many hours working on this project to get good data to share with us.
...just bought 200 Starline as Lapua is never in stock, the case lengths were very consistent @1.745 +/- 0.001". I'm not worried about the internal volume until they're fireformed as it will change. Great video, thank you!
I think starline is really good for most things. if you were doing pro level competition, you'd be using Lapua or something similar.
I’m in for Starline it’s consistent and 1/3the cost of lapua
I’ll stick with Starline. I’ve not had any primer pocket issues out of my Valkyrie, Grendel, or Blackout brass. Is the case capacity less than others , sure by a bit. But does it really matter unless I feel I absolutely need to have max volume, which I don’t. I don’t shoot any matches nor will I. I still do shoot target out to 300 yards and Starline has never let me down. I cannot, for my use, justify spending the money on Lapua.
This is exactly how most videos on CZcams should be formatted! Present the data and explain it without a word salad. Short, concise, and informative. 👌 THANK YOU!
With Finland getting all on board with nato and everything, they have stopped exporting so they can get ready for world war 3, so for me it was an easy decision to buy America made starline, even though they said they where on back order they shipped it out in like 3 days...@ $.40 a pc.
God I love data driven analysis like this in the reloading community. Keep up the good work.
if it isn't in Lapua Brass, it ain't in my rifles, PERIOD ! ....... OnWard......
I have never used lapua as I just load 223 for ar15 and can’t justify the price for how beat up it gets. However I’ve had nothing but great luck with starline
"Ugh, yeah. I'm gonna need you go ahead and come in on Saturday." Great shirt.
Impressive Analysis....Never seen anything like that before...Thanks for the Effort in putting together such analysis...
I am curious of the case weight vs case voume of virgin brass maybe changing to a more consistent number after fireforming to a given chamber, annealing and then resizing.
0.3 grains for less than half the price Starline for the win. It’s pretty much all I buy now since I buy in bulk. When Hornady was really cheap I would buy that too I always found it to be much softer but after a few loads it was very consistent.
I just finished reloading 40 223 cases 40 times for PMC and Lepua and now am working on Remington then Hornady.
Superb! Consider the added value Lapua puts into their product, nearly no extra brass prep steps. I have read reports that Lapua would last almost twice as many reloads as other brands. Factor in the cost of doing more load development with brass that is less consistent. Great work BAR!
Starline .45 Colt brass is outstanding, and I switched over to it once I had a hard time getting Federal in that caliber.
I wish you would have checked the run out of the necks, or neck thickness variation.
