    Topbrass inc? Any good?

    Anyone know anything about these folks? The prices seem to be good.

    Top Brass offers the best value in reloading! Guaranteed once-fired military brass machined and reconditioned to better than new specs for most common handgun and rifle calibers. Wholesale packaging, boxes, and trays for custom-manufactured ammunition.


    I couldn't find much about them online. Someone over at Arf.com complained that they were getting split necks after just a couple of reloads...

      Back several years ago they where called Scharch Manufacturing, and at that time I used to by processed 223 for $34.00 a thousand. Wished I had bought way more! Never had a problem.

        I have only ever bought 1x processed .223 and 9mm brass from them, good stuff, no bs. Can't say about other items though.

          Ive bought from them several times. GTG.

          I bought a thousand pieces of Barrett stamped 6.8 brass which was defective once. They promptly credited me and told me to dispose of brass as I saw fit. Good people..

            I just placed a pretty sizable order from them mid week, I'll let you now how it goes. I will say that when I called to ask about their pulled 5.56 bullets , the very helpful woman said, if there is any problem, give them a call, and they will get me sorted out.

            As for split necks, it's not necessarily uncommon to get split necks on rifle brass after a few loads unless you re-anneal them.

              Well thanks for the feedback everyone. I've turned into a brass hoarder now.

              One month into reloading and I'm looking for deals or telling my friends to save me all their brass. I blame you people for all my firearm related issues.

                Received my order (6000 .223 55g. boat tail FMJ bullets), they were very well packed, and they were here in less than 1 work week. The bullets are pulled, but look almost brand new, there are some very slight pull marks on a few here and there, but they are not deep enough to effect the bullets performance.

                Very happy with the purchase. You can't beat the price at $54 per 1000.

                  I ordered some loaded ammo from BVAC and it had 52gr VMAX bullets loaded in .223 Top Brass and it was shooting 1/2 MOA from a JP upper at 100 yards. It was some of the most consistent brass I'd seen, right alongside PMC, and LC brass.

                    I've used about 3K of their primed .223 for my match ammo. Never had a single problem.

                    It's the most painless way to reload .223. Just add powder and seat the bullet and you're good to go.
