Starline 9mm Short Brass Casings 100 Count
Starline Brass Cases for 9mm Short (380 ACP) Bulk Pack of 100 Units
Starline Precision Brass is engineered with meticulous attention to dimensional tolerances, ensuring each metallic cartridge case meets the highest standards required for reliable reloading and consistent ballistic performance. Manufactured within strict SAAMI specifications, these brass casings undergo specialized heat treatment processes designed to enhance structural integrity, tensile strength, and overall longevity during repeated firing cycles.
Constructed from premium new, unfired brass without primer pockets, these cases provide reloaders with a clean, uncontaminated platform ideal for custom handloading applications. Prior to loading, it is essential to trim and chamfer the case mouths to ensure optimal bullet seating and prevent projectile deformation.
Due to inherent manufacturing variances and potential handling during transport, case mouths may exhibit slight irregularities in roundness. To guarantee proper bullet alignment and chambering, it is recommended to size the case necks using an expander die. This step not only rounds the mouth but also slightly opens the neck diameter, facilitating smooth bullet insertion and consistent neck tension.
Additionally, deburring and removal of any residual flash or burrs from the case mouth is critical to avoid damage to the projectile jacket and to maintain uniform pressure upon firing.
Reloaders may observe discoloration or spotting on the neck and body of new brass cases. This is a normal byproduct of the annealing processa controlled thermal cycle involving rapid heating to a precise temperature followed by swift cooling. Annealing imparts the necessary hardness to securely hold the bullet while preserving sufficient ductility to accommodate expansion and contraction during firing and resizing operations.
These surface marks are purely cosmetic and do not affect the mechanical properties or performance of the brass. Utilizing Starline 9mm Short brass cases ensures consistent reloadability, enhanced case life, and superior ballistic accuracy for semi-metallic and metallic cartridge handloading enthusiasts.
