Gevelot brass - any info or experience

[tabs4u]

I have some brass marked Gevelot and I have not heard of this company. Does any one have and experience with this brass ? How is its consistancy ? how does it reload ? How long will it last ? How long do the primer pockets last ? case seperation ? Any experience or info would be greatly appreciated.

Gevelot was a French company that opened an ammo plant in Saskatoon for a short time in the early 60's. Given the age you may experience case neck splits unless you anneal.

How do you know if a case needs to be annealed.

I anneal when the case is more than 20 years old or has been reloaded several times.
