45 Super and 10mm brass of yours ROCKS! Not only is it good from the box but after multiple reloads it's still going strong! I've yet to have a case fail from weapon mangling or experimental hot loads. Thanks Starline for your wonderful contribution to the loading fraternity! I highly recommend all of their brass and only wish they would make even more calibers as I would buy them in a heartbeat. I won't fault them for that as the problem is they make serious heavy duty cases and case manipulating is tough in this case. I had to anneal the case in order to get their heavy brass to reform into the new case shape. I have only found one issue in all the time I've loaded Starline brass and that was in forming some wildcat cartridges. I now use only Starline pistol brass and have started using their rifle brass in calibers they offer though they haven't started producing all the calibers I use but I am patiently waiting for the gap to close. I quickly found them to be the best loading and longest lasting pistol casings I had encountered.
I investigated and started trying Starline pistol brass. I started noticing casings left behind at our club's Action Pistol shoots that had two stars connected with a line. Over the years I have loaded more calibers than I care to think and have gone through thousands of brass casings. In the beginning there were only a couple of brands, namely the main ammo manufacturers. If you are an experienced reloader, you can safely run a little higher pressure in the modern lever actions, such as the Marlin. Since the 30-30 is normally loaded to low pressures, there is no real concern over the slight pressure increase, but as always, work up loads to maximum pressures with caution. Because of this, I did see about 1 grain less powder capacity than a typical Federal 30-30 case. This falls between the standard 30-30 and 375 Winchester web thickness. The flash holes were clean punched with little to no burr. The primer pockets were snug, uniform in depth, and flat in the bottom. 0092" thick, and were more uniform in thickness than any other 30-30 brass I have ever used. I ran loads that simply can not be listed in this review for safety reasons. I shoot the 30-30 in a bolt action rifle, so I wanted to push the brass very hard to look for a weakness. I was sent a sample of the new Starline 30-30 brass for testing.
