    I used Winchester.
    Heard Starline is very good.

    I just checked, I have a box of old winchester cases that have been loaded, neck sized only, 14 times. These were not loaded hot and were fired in a Siamese Mauser using cast bullets. I recently purchased 100 new Starline cases on the auction side but haven't tested them yet. Ed

    I am a firm belever in Star Line brass. Out of the box, it's takes the least work to get ready to load. I've got some 45-70 cases I've loaded 10 times, and their still going. They have hard to find, old time brass, like for my 401 Winchester, so I support them as much as I can. They are purveyors of a fine product at a fair price.

    I agree with you all. I've purchased Star Line brass when possible as well ... they produce quality brass, for reasonable pricing, and for some cartridges that many other manufacturers won't bother with producing. We need all the variety that we can get!

    I just fixed it myself, it was late last night, as it is tonight.
    Been putting guns on the auction side, it's keeping me busy, and it's cutting into my beverage time.[;)]
    Thanks
