Starline vs PPU Brass

[mkrnel]

I had very good results with PPU range brass easily loaded them 3-4 times

Yeah, me too. I have been using PPU brass for my Carcano's in 6.5x52mm and in my 7.62x39mm bolt action reloads and typically get as many as 6 or 7 reloads from the cases before the primer pockets get too loose.

I found them much better than recent Winchester and Remington brass.

I would gladly pay double the scrap brass metal value for anybody's once fired PPU cases they don't want.

Haven't used PPU, Starline seems to be OK so far, haven't done a pile of shooting with it, only have it for 223, only 2 shots so far on the 100 of the 200 I have, no issues, sized good, didn't stretch a crazy amount on the first shot. Bought it to use on gophers and a bit of range plinking with an 1885Win. I also use Rem brass in that gun, that I'd bought 35 yrs ago, it has 11 or 12 shots on 200pcs, was never annealed, upper end loads, but, not max.

I use a lot of Starline brass in pistols and believe it lasts as long as any other brass. Haven’t used it in rifles so haven’t a clue how good it is.
PPU I have a few pistol brass which work well. In rifles I have a lot of PPU and find it better than many. Out lasts Federal and Hornady. PPU also seems easier to find in some of the oddball calibers I shoot.
