It's good stuff.. I have gotten a few starline certificates over the years competing and have some in 38 spl and 38 super. A lot of people swear by their brass (as opposed to swearing at it). I know several ppl who have used their oddball cartridges (9x21, 9x23, 356 TJ, 38 Short colt, 38 long colt, etc) and all of them are happy with it.
Hi, Starline brass is one of the best kept secrets around. Its good solid brass and reasonably priced. More and more folks are going over to it. I have ordered from them several times and the response has always been quick and courteous. They are not only cheaper on their prices, but they have picked up the shipping costs. In some cases (no pun intended) the brass has been uniformly thicker/stronger to some extent. They are cheaper than Midway on prices for their brass. Its easiest to punch them up on line and either order that way or go to their toll free phone. So ordering direct from them is the way to go. LLS
Convinced me, just ordered 500...one problem...back order, but I can wait.
I've ordered 45-70 brass from them twice both on back order and both orders showed up early.Originally Posted by 44fanatic
Good stuff.

I've got 500 of the 44mag, no problems so far, only reloaded 3X so far, I didn't know I could order direct from them . . .

you do need to adjust the load a bit for them. maybe 1/2 grain.
i know in some they have an ever so slight case capacity reduction.
it's my go to case for high end 45 colt loads.
I have some on order also. 8 more days.
I have maybe 6000 rds of Starline brass in different cals., when I need more I'll call them. Nuff said?
grit yer teeth an pull the trigger
When I first started shooting .45 Colt a lot I ordered 1000 pcs of Starline. I can't tell you exactly how many times some of them have been loaded but it's a lot. They hold up extremely well. I use Starline in .44 mag with the same results. The bad thing is they do get backordered since their in such demand. FB
Mine shipped today.
5 more days to my reloading bench.
In for some cases they are the only game in town.
I load for 9mm largo and 7.62x25 and have been very impressed with Starline's products. I am sure I will lose all of the 7.62x25s before I wear them out, the cz52's sure chuck em a long way.

Black Hills ammo uses it in most if not all of there pistol ammunition.
From using there 45LC brass, it seems to be pretty heavy, so it should last me quite a few reloads.
I've got it in .357, .44 mag, and 45/70. You should also order it directly from them if you want the best price and no shipping.

Do not argue with idiots. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
Top quality brass.

If it was easy, anybody could do it.
Shot em a bunch of times . So far good as anything else. No splits after serveral reloads of 500 or so cases.
Melting Stuff is FUN!Sent from my PC with a keyboard and camera on it with internet too.
Shooting stuff is even funner

Went to the Starline for my, new to me, 45/70.
Brass price from Buffalo Arms was close to half the cost of - Winchester/Remington - brass from Cabela's or Midway.
Whats not to like with that, considering all the great reviews Starline seems to get.
Haven't ordered direct, but everyone says that is also a winner.
Buy the way, I had good service from Buffalo Arms here in Ideeeeeeho.
Keep em coming!

I like Starline brass, too. Does anybody have the link to their web page handy?

Buy it! If you don't like it you will be able to sell it here on the "For Sale" forum. But I betcha you never do, LOL.
Just type in Starline brass on your search and it should come up.
Keep em coming!
