Give a man a fish, and he will eat for a day. Can you see the crimped ones? Guess this happens sometimes with contract over runs that get pawned off in those 100 bulk boxes. Heres a photo showing the backs of the 2 brass. With some work and chamfering of the primer pockets I was able to get the primers into the crimped pockets, but ended up tossing about 30 shells from the WIN brass I had in a bag. So last night I compared good WIN brass with bad WIN brass. BUT, Upon further investigation and a bunch of google trolling I found info saying people find some. My thought it wasnt centering in the shell holder properly. I was thinking the problem was a bad extractor groove since to my eye it looked different. I had taken the primer shuttle apart assuming it was not going back to center properly. I go back and forth with this for a while untill I give up. So I try a different one, it works like the next 5, then another just wont go. Well, first batch out of my bag of sorted WIN brass I encounter a primer that just wont go in. I will be sending Detroit Ammo Co another two full flat rates next week and I can’t express enough how happy I will be when they add 40 S&W to the calibers they will process.Anyone run across WIN brass that has had the primers crimped? I have loaded about 350 rounds so far with hardly any issue with the primers going into the mixed brass ive been using (S&B, GFL, RP, FC, ect. Much better finished product using real commercial equipment which I have to assume is what Detroit is using, based on the finished results.ĭoing the math, I bought back my brass processing time at about $8 per hour or less which is well worth it for my least favorite task in reloading. I had to send that brass through my SS media tumbler and hand sort out the 380 and bad cases, and it was still almost worth it to skip reading headstamps! Word to the wise… you want a service that uses Camdex machines for processing brass, not a Dillon with an autodrive. The other brass processor (who charged about the same amount) sent me back brass with copious amounts of gritty cleaning media still on the brass and all of the 380 was still mixed in along with a bunch of busted cases. I have used a different brass processor once in the past and the product I got back wasn’t nearly as good as Detroit Ammo Co. I doubt any additional processing will be necessary. I will drop it as is into my brass feeder after I shake the brass in a lube bag. There was just a hint of corn cob media left on the cleaned/processed brass but nothing I’m going to hold against them. Yet another bag had a couple steel cases and 4 live rounds in it! Like I said, I didn’t presort that well. Two bags had about 44lbs combined of incredibly clean and PERFECT looking 9mm brass, one bag had a couple pounds of 380 auto and another had a couple pounds of 38 super. I purchased 5X the 1k processing package, filled up the flat rate box with 50lbs of rough sorted brass (from my days as a Range Officer at the local outdoor gun range) plus a copy of my receipt and dropped the box at the post office.Ībout two weeks later I received a box with a few bags inside. To do this much brass would have taken me 20 hours of work, easily. In my process, I would need to sort by head stamp (to eliminate crimped primers) and hand sort out the 380, inspect for damage, and then clean. I have one of the shake sorters that sorts by diameter so that had a bunch of 380 and 38 super mixed in as well as tons of crimped primer pocket brass. What I sent them was one full large flat rate (~5500) dirty range pickups. So I just got my first round of brass back from these guys with around 5k cases of good processed 9mm brass.
