How about a brass rating scheme??

Winnipeg! Another place where you can't read the brand of the pickup brass in spring . At first I wondered why you put them all together .

Welcome aboard Gerry.

Jammer I don't know what your problem is with the brass. I can take any one of the three, and put about 200rds in my vibrator tumbler for 2 hrs and they come out looking new. Try putting in some Nutone car polish with corn cob. That's what I use, and I have no troubles at all.

I like the brass as shiny on the inside as it is on the outside.

The reason is so that when I'm weighing loads, I can look inside and know that I got all the powder out.

And because I'm uppity, picky, and downright persnickity, all rolled into one.

A little bit of turtle car polish wax, mixed in the media. They come out looking better then new.

Bertam brass comes in for some really reports ! ........Cause every word of it is true ! They used to make fantatic Brass & then it went belly up ! I still get my .310 cadet brass from them but that's all I would have to put Winchester at the top of my list followed by Highlander ,PMC, Federal ,with Remmington & Bertam right on the can't get anything else list !!!!!!

Winnipeg is to cold in the winter for the brass to tarnish! Brass won't tarnish when the temperatures go below -40F for months on end.

Jammer Six - Use the liquid car wax (just a capfull) in your media and tumble your brass for a couple of hours and it WILL be clean and shinny. If it isn't try tumbling your brass with the machine plugged in.
Just kidding, but I think you will find it works.

Take Care Eh

I've been wondering about that.

Maybe you can take a look, and tell me where this thing plugs in?

Hey! I just stumbled onto the thread and thought I'd ask if anyone has had any experience in reloading Independence brand brass. I bought a couple boxes of 357 loads in this brand and have been reloading them. They are on their 4th time around and still looking okay. Just wondered if anyone else has used this brass. Is it worth keeping? Thanks!

They are said to be made in Brazil by CBC/Magtech. Do you still have the boxes?

You just reminded me of that advice I regularly get on ranges: " After 4 or 5 reloads brass is not good anymore" ... ...........shorrry

Hey! I Just got my first 303, and traded it for a different 303 today. I was looking at my 303 brass, and I have same pmp, and some weird ones with a flame for a head stamp. I only have one of the flame ones, But someone just gave me a box of pmp 30/06 brass, and I had some in 303. I would like to know your opinion of these cases.
Also, my brother has some 6.5X55 brass with the flame, and will not use it because he does not know what is is.
Thank you.
