    $70 for 20 cases of 25 Krag brass is way too expensive when I can make my own.

    There is no 'right' that requires me to work for you or you to work for me!

    Kind of expensive for reformed brass.

    And the pricing is a bit skewed.

    $80 for 318 Westley Richards, one of the easiest cheapest conversions you can do.

    $100 for 280 Ross, expensive and hard to find parent brass, with a lot more work. I tried using 375 Ruger as the donor brass, stopped before I split the C-H die I was using. I've been told C-H won't warranty the die used to form 280 from 375 Ruger.

    After trying to form 280, $5 each sounds cheap.

    Way too expensive for .577/450. $130 for 20 cases? I buy mine for $50 for 25 when I need them. Still a good looking site

    Definitely interesting and, yes, a bit pricey. However, they went through the process of offering ready made brass for those who are looking for the available calibers. I also found it educational to read about what they were formed from.

    Thanks for posting!
