    For quite a while Amerc. has been getting negative reports on nearly every reloading forum I've visited. Mostly inferior brass alloy, small and off center flash holes and varying thickness. Haven't run across any here (So. Oregon).

    Post #11 and #12 are excellent, print and put in your reloading manual...

    This crap was of barely sufficient quality for the first firing. Any I find goes straight to scrap. At least it seems to be turning up less often than in the past.

    The exact same issues that make amerc garbage are also found in maxxtech brass. Reloaders beware. At least they has been my experience with 9mm.
