    Default Re: Reloading steel cases?

    I don't know when you posted this, but I pray that you see this before you buy those cases. Steel cases are a one shot deal. They are not as ductile as brass and should not be reloaded. Why waste money on brass you can only use once.

    grumpa72 is right. Don't waste your time with steel cases even if they are boxer primed. For the guys that do it... you have alot more free time than I do!

    I think on the sum total of all things considerered you are right. I sure would love to be able to pick up spent cartridges with an electromagnet though. Get every last one in 30 seconds.

    Steel cases CAN be reloaded with proper care. They WILL wear dies out faster. They WILL crack sooner. They WILL in the end cost more.

    Got Brass?
