Re: Reloading Used Cases
I asked because I have a few boxes of shot nickel plated Winchester 38 Spl cases that I have been saving for whatever reason and wondered if they would shoot in a 357.

Re: Reloading Used Cases
Another to add that PPU pistol brass is absolute pants, bought 100 .44mag and around 20% have been tossed due to splitting, some only a mm or two others almost the full case length, I stress that these have never been loaded to "factory" loads only with 5.4gr of TiteGroup which is an excellent plinking load.
As has been said just make sure if you're buying "once fired" it actually is, I bought a lot of .223 off a member and most of it ended up in the bin, over chamfered and over sized primer flash holes, a huge mix of manufacturers and ages and a lot with military primer crimps. I can also vouch for Johns RWS brass, first class stuff indeed.
If you're looking for pistol calibre brass then spend the few extra £s and buy new Starline cases, superb quality.
