Who makes custom brass ?

[358Scout]

I've designed a cartridge and would like to have some brass made up with the caliber/name stamped on it.

Anyone know if there is a company that does this type of work?

The only place I can think of is Starline in the USA. Don't know about costs or exporting though.

I wonder if benchrest supply companies couldn't help you, places like Sinclairs for example.

you might be better off to get a machine shop to produce a die/die set to reform a currently produced round/brass. you will have to have a certain amount of skill to design and draw up what you need.

Many thousands of guys have produced wildcat cartridges, but only a handful have ponied up the cost for what would effectively be a "vanity" cartridge (only one guy uses it!). We are talking tens of thousands of dollars for tooling, setup, test and production. A run of 100,000 would likely be required for the cost per cartridge to be close to factory cost.

At one time Norma would do a run with a custom headstamp for an order of 100,000.

For small runs, turn them on a cnc/lathe from solid stock and then engrave whatever headstamp you want. For a bottleneck cartridge, form a straight cartridge first then have a set of custom case forming dies made up.


As for quantities for a custom cartridge, consider that Starline won't even Nickel plate their brass in less than DRUM quantities......


Try custombrassandbullets.com for "basic" unformed brass you can use as a base for forming your own cartridge.

I have an old custom Winchester High Wall in 219 Donaldson Wasp. For the most part with a trim die, two forming dies and a two die set from RCBS I can form my own from 30-30 brass. However, when I purchased the rifle I was also given a quantity of custom brass. On the boxes of brass is the following sticker/label;

Custom Brass from DKT Inc.

Give them a shout, perhaps they can help you out.

Many places produce custom brass, but none of them produce them with a custom headstamp. They will still have the parent name (e.g. 348 Win), but they might cut a ring through it to clue the user that it's been modified.
