Ammoload brass
So... I have some questions about this brass. I think I purchased it and picked it up after shooting. I'm getting into reloading and deprimed and polished. These look different than the others and I was wondering what others think. The primer pockets and interior are different than my other brass.

Re: Ammoload brass
That ledge on the interior is I assume to prevent seating the bullet deeper similar to the crimp seen on some 45ACP and other handgun brass. Does it extend all the way yo the case's head? If so case volume would be reduced so reload accordingly.The primer vent looks like it was punched and needs deburring.
I just Googled it and it's made by an American company, Freedom Munitions.

Re: Ammoload brass
Yeap, that's Ammoloand brass. They have a goofy cup inside and their punched flash hole is always very unfinished. Here is a better picture of their 45 ACP brass.
The general recommendation is not to use max loads as the cup reduces the case capacity which will bump the pressure at max. You need to also uniform both primer cup and flash hole.

Re: Ammoload brass
I wouldn't toss it as long as that flash hole could be cleaned up. I run reduced loads anyways in my 45 so no biggy.

Re: Ammoload brass
Does anybody know what that ring is for? I have never seen such brass.

Re: Ammoload brass
The only thing I can think of is that Freedom Munitions has a different way of manufacturing brass. Their brass is also known for how thin that outer layer is. That is what I've read, I don't tend to use range brass.Fyodor wrote:Does anybody know what that ring is for? I have never seen such brass.

Re: Ammoload brass
Sounds like it is a step above amercs ammo It was the definition of bad ammo never buy anything made by amerc and do not use their brass it is very brittle I bought a case of .223 and 8 out of 10 rounds case mouths were split. horrid brass.
