Quality Cartridge brass is correctly headstamped in the listed caliber. Because of variations in case size for some specialty cartridges, it is best to check the brass against a fired case from a particular firearm to ensure suitability. Whenever possible, brass has been formed to published standards for the cartridge. This is not loaded ammunition.
Preparation:
Due to the manufacturing process and/or shipping, case mouths may not be perfectly round. To ensure a round case
mouth, cases must be sized (or have the expander ball of the sizing die run through case neck) and deburred/Chamfered prior
to loading.
Notes:
A light "staining" may be found on the case neck of new brass. This is due to annealing. Annealing is a process,
performed by the manufacturer, which involves rapid heating to a specified temperature followed by rapid cooling. This
process imparts cases with the proper hardness to securely hold a bullet as well as gives flexibility to expand and contract upon
firing and repeated forming. The "staining" is a residue from this process. This stain may be removed by tumbling before
loading.
