My first introduction to Starline brass was a few .357 Mag.
and .44 Mag. cases picked up here and there. I tossed them
into the mix of cases I was loading and was favorably
impressed with them but the sample size was small.
Then when I picked up a .41 Magnum revolver I decided to give
Starline a real try and ordered a box of 250 Starline cases
from them. The order was shipped promptly and the shipping
charges was included in the price listed on their website.
This was the only brass I used for all the work I did with
that .41 mag. revovler and another I later got also. Not sure
just how many times any of that brass was used but during the
time I kept those guns that is the only brass used and I was
very pleased with it. It was very uniform and the loads put
together in their cases shot some excellent groups. What more
can you ask for?
My next introduction to Starline brass was when I took on the
challenge of testing the Freedom Arms FA83 Premier and Taurus
Raging Bull both in .454 Casull. I called up Starline and
explained what I had under way and they graciously provided
me with 500 cases of .454 Casull for the project. I noticed
that the smaller companies like COR-BON and Buffalo Bore also
used Starline brass to put up their ammo in. That alone is a
pretty good indication of the quanlity and economy of using
Starline brass. Folks who make their living putting out high
performance ammo aren't going to chose anything that hasn't
been proved to be really good quality and they also need a
good price to allow for more profit on the ammo they make and
sell.
During the entire testing of the FA83 and also that of the
Raging Bull the Starline brass is what was used in putting
together all the reloads I fired and I fired many thousands
of rounds of both factory and reloads during those tests and
am still doing so for the RB in the scoped portion of this
test that is still under way. I like them. The .454 Casull
cases came with a note that they should be full length sized
before use the first time. I did this and every single load
I've put together using them has been fine. They all fit just
fine in the chambers of both guns and have provided some
excellent accuracy in loads each gun likes. The cases are
holding up as well as or better than any other brand of brass
I've ever used and the prices are less than any other brand
from any source I've so far located. When you combine the
quality and price I find Starline to be hard to impossible to
beat and hard to match. I'll sure be using them for future
projects also.
If you are in need of any of the normal handgun calibers
Starline has you covered in spades and for some they are
about the only source of brass. They have now branched out
and are beginning to make some of the more or less straight
walled rifle cases like the .45-70, .45-90 and .45-110. I'm
sure they will continue to expand as time goes on. If you
haven't yet tried Starline brass I suggest you give them a
call and do so. You won't regret it.
Next I contacted Starline when it was time to begin testing
the Browning BPCR in .45-70 and they send me 250 of their .45-70
cases for this project. Those along with the Starline made cases
used by Buffalo Bore were used throughtout the testing of that rifle.
When Taurus International sent me a Taurus Raging Bull in .480 Ruger
caliber I again contacted Starline as the only source other than the
Hornady Factory ammo at the time. Starline sent me 100 of the pre
production cases to test before they went into full production. I gave
these 100 cases a full work out in the test of the Taurus RB .480 and
reported back to Starline that they again have a winner in this case and
that full production was certainly in order. Buffalo Bore is now using
the Starline cases for their factory .480 ammo which I am have also tested.
Starline Brass definitely gets the Graybeard Seal of Approval
for excellence and a thumbs up.

A GREAT SHOT STARTS WITH STARLINE BRASS.
Whatever the time, whatever the place, whatever
the shooting sport, Starline brass is the choice
of champions.
From the prestigious Chevy Truck Challenge, to
the Masters, Cowboy Action State Finals, IPSC and
IHMSA competitions or an afternoon of plinking,
Team Starline is a force to be reckoned with,
just like the champions who demand Starline
performance.
Starline history began with a single .38 Special
case back in 1976.
Over the years, Starline has built a solid
reputation producing a new, unprimed handgun
brass for many of the world's top ammunition
makers, as well as local, state and federal law
enforcement agencies. Today, Starline continues
to supply these manufacturers with brass, while
offering the same quality product factory direct to the
public. (See new products page as we continually
add new cases to the line or check product listing on order
form.)
Starline expands into black powder rifle casings.
Starline began to provide large black powder
rifle casings like 45-70, 45-90 and 45-100 this
year. These cases have been tested at elevated
pressures using smokeless powders for big game
hunting loads in guns adequate for this
application. i.e. New Generation Marlins, Ruger
No. 1's, and Siamese Masers. We plan on adding to this
line as quickly as possible. (See new product
page for coming calibers.)
