yep.
want to hear a bummer though.
you can go to wally world and buy loaded federal ammo.
use their 4$ per box mail in rebate and you get factory loaded ammo for less than empty brass cases.

Sounds like things are starting to get back to normal, factory loaded ammo for less than empty brass.

On the other hand I sure am happy to see Star Line expanding into more and more rifle calibers. :)

I think I’ll order 100. Hopefully they have thick round necks that give you some room to fit the brass to your rifle.

I know the 308 starline brass I have is really thick, only thing that is thicker is WCC.

Handy bit if information to have. Do you remember about how thick? WCC cleans up at about .0135" for me most of the time, that's with the cutter only touching about 3/4-way around the neck.

Starline is good brass and I don't say that lightly! I have studied it stem to stern..... Starline also has a lot of "old stuff" on board like the big 50's as in Sharps for example. I think one of the best marketing moves would be to reintroduce some discontinued numbers. Look at the .218 Bee thread just posted....... "Come on Starline! You're set up with the .32-20 'parent' case already!!. It's no big deal to offer either .25-20 or .218 Bee to your line! Items like the .303 Savage may be a harder sell as dimensions are rather different.

There are several others too Starline........... AND THERE IS MONEY WAITING TO BE MADE!

My non turned starline measure .015”. I never really noticed how much thicker it was until I started using a bushing neck sizer. I had to go up in bushing size when using starline brass to maintain.002-.003” neck tension.

I sent Star Line an e-mail a few days ago under the topic of "What new calibers would you like to see us offer" and requested they make 7x57. You would think that there would be a reasonable demand.
