Starline .45acp brass?

Recommended Posts

Starline brass is made to SAAMI standards, which means it doesn't exceed the maximum specified length. All .45 ACP brass and new ammo that I have seen, comes in under max length. 

 

If your gun functions with the cartridge OAL at which your dies are set, then a case that is nominally shorter won't make a difference - just means a little more of the bullet will be exposed. No need to reset your dies.

 

Starline brass is good quality brass and used by many commercial/boutique ammunition manufacturers.

 

Adios,

Thanks Bob. I'll give them a shot.  I was thinking about seating depth and pressure....  I guess I'll give them a shot. Thanks.

 

If you don't change your die setting, the internal volume will remain the same. You would only change the volume by seating the bullet deeper in the mistaken belief that you need to compensate, somehow, for the shorter brass. Just leave things alone, load and be happy.
