Anyone familiar with 454casull

[Bill.68]

What kind of brass life do yall normally see? Im using starline and Im not impressed at all. And the stuff aint cheap.

I am a Starline user but my .454 cases for the Model 83 are Hornady's. I haven't been stoking the beast with hot loads like I did in my younger years so the Hornady cases will probably take me to the finish line.

I'm wondering what sort of issues you are having with the Starline brass?

[Bill.68]

Primer pockets useless after about 4 or 5 loadings. Yes, ok, some were pretty stout but never book max or beyond.

I've a 454, and from what I understand, that's pretty common. The round is extremely high pressure for a straight wall magnum cartridge. It's easy to get a bullet well into the 55k or even 60k psi range. A careful choice of powder and bullet combo is necessary.
