44 mag brass opinions

[45workhorse]

I do the salt bath annealing also, it ‘seems’ to help.
I like the brass holder

[Jeff Michel]

something is not right: I can always say that I am more than satisfied with the duration of the GFL in .357 as well, here.
however this is not the first time I have heard this complaint from Americans or Canadians.
I can only think that Fiocchi contracts to some external producer those that give you problems.

Perhaps, maybe I have a couple batches of hard brass. Maybe annealing will help, something to try. These came as loaded ammo. From a performance standpoint, I'd put Fiocchi against anybody.

Back when I still had a 44 used pretty much whatever brass was found on the range. Only brass not used was Hornady as it was noticeably shorter and would need die adjustments whereas all the other (RP, FC, WW, PMC) were interchangeable as far as case length was concerned.

I shoot only cast bullet loads.. I rarely sort brass.. unless you are running fmj and max pressures/max loads.. it matters less... any case'll do.

I prefer Remington. Starline cases will develop mouth splits after 2-3 loadings.

I have 3,000 Starline 44 Mag in rotation from 2015 and 2017 and not one split yet.

I have been using Starline 44 mag brass for 12 years with countless reloads and only had 1 split.
