Just bought some brass that is packaged as Relcom, but it looks like starline as the headstamp has two stars separated by a line
what headstamp does Relcom use?
Is it RP? or is that Remington?

Re: Relcom Brass
Most Relcom 223 etc. is RP stamped as it's produced by Remington Peters. The two stars separated by a line (sometimes 2 lines) def. sounds like Starline and probably is if it's pistol brass.

Re: Relcom Brass
Relcom seems a generic name for "reloading components" in the hannams catalogue, this is usually Remington Peters but I have had Starline, as you have, as well as Winchester brass from orders under the Relcom list.

Re: Relcom Brass
Relcom isn't a maker or company - AFAIK it's Hannams own product name. Most 'Relcom' rifle brass is Remington (R-P headstamp) but Starline is found in pistol cartridges or where Remington doesn't do that cartridge. I suspect Hannams buys it in mega bulk lots and packages it in 100s, or has a contract with a US supplier to package it under the Relcom name. Starline is a very large independent case manufacturer and does a lot of contract work for other US companies.

Re: Relcom Brass
interesting. well I suppose then I can't really go back and moan that I paid a £5 extra as he has to pay more for relcom but this seems to be staline, if its Hannams issue. seems a sly way to charge a little extra for the same product to me....
