WWB Brass...

[ZombieKiller]

I've never reloaded using the WWB stuff.......is the brass decent from 45 ACP?

Thanks in advance....

Not any more. Since they moved production to Europe, the brass sucks. It measures .475" at the base and is a pain in the *** to resize. All other brands measure .472" at most.

Europe?

[J-cat]

Yes. You know, that place across the ocean...

That was a rhetorical Europe. Do you know where?

[J-cat]

Chech Republic, I think.

That's where Alliant used to buy powder from. I used AA-7, it had a Czech Republic sticker on it.

only the double dot winchester is a bit odd but no harder to reload than s&b

such as more than average primer going in sideways or protruding and wont seat

all white box isnt double dot now is it?

i'm asking since reloading i haven't bought a box of .45 in over a year


double dot means the headstamp on the case says .winchester.
and they look like S&B cases having the extractor saver rim design like they were hit with a mouse router with a round over bit

OK, What is double dot, and what does it mean?

All new WWB in the small boxes with black plactic trays are made abroad and the brass sucks. The brass has a radused rim edge instead of the traditional 45 degree flat bevel.

QFT, but, both kinds of WWB are still commonly available. Just look at the bases before you buy it.

Rhetorical, Europe?

I've heard of that place. It's near the town of Bombast.
