Its a sad day..... I've just done a batch of reloading .357 gallery rifle and LBR ammo, and realise that my 20+ year old Starline brass is coming to the end of its usefull life... (they almost have sentimental value, going back to the pistol days...!!)
Some of the primers had almost no resistance going into the pockets and I had to throw a good handful of cases away with split necks.
So where is the best place to source new or once fired quality .357 brass..?? ( Brass only, not nickel!!)
I see Kranks are selling new Starline at just under £20 a hundred... anywhere better than that..?
TIA
Daryll.

Can't quote you anything better but can tell you that Starline is excellent brass. I use 38spl and 357mag in my Marlin and it's great.

Actually, just found that Spud is doing them for £16.80 /100...sounds the place to go... i did look at a couple of the European suppliers, and they were about the same..
