Chrisjwebb Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 Does anyone know which brands of cartridges still use brass and not steel? Need a few brass ones for a project I'm doing. Rc Sipe, fiocchi, eley and gb sll use plated steel from what I can tell. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennett Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 (edited) I don't think any cartridges use actual brass, it is all electro plated steel, which is why old old cartridges rust. I think the only brass used is in the early all metallic cases. Edited December 13, 2016 by kennett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokersmith Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 The only ones I have that don't rust are the Federal 10g cases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rem708 Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 Having cleaned up after the worlds, the only cartridge that did NOT stick to my mag-stick was the US made ones. These are also sort-after for reloading as they can be reloaded many many times not like the European cases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
