Those are the worst of them all, but there are other brands like FM and others that also had ledges. My Ammobot driven Dillon RL1100 has a sensor with a plunger to detect those, which it will automatically kick out.While processing some 9mm I picked up at the Range I ran accross this case from Maxxtech. I never saw one before ,Has anyone else? It has a ledge inside that prevents reloading of a normal 115 grain bullet.
You know you're old when you spend more time collecting brass than shooting while at the range...
Because major manufacturers keep experimenting with case metals which are not brass and therefore not reloadable. And one day when this new replacement case metal become substantially cheaper, then brass will become the hottest commodity in reloading.
Those wacky Bosnians. Some of their 45acp are stepped too.While processing some 9mm I picked up at the Range I ran accross this case from Maxxtech. I never saw one before ,Has anyone else? It has a ledge inside that prevents reloading of a normal 115 grain bullet.
Yup, run into it all the time. Usually "Ammoland" and "IMT", but the most frequently encountered is "FM"...which I believe is Freedom Munitions. It is actually quite popular with some folks loading "9mm Major" because they aren't loading their bullets seated very deeply and the reduced case capacity helps increase pressureWhile processing some 9mm I picked up at the Range I ran accross this case from Maxxtech.

According to AFTE, you hit the trifecta, Freedom Munitions is the source of all you mention plus X-treme & LAX. From the AFTE website:Yup, run into it all the time.

You need to go to a local Action Pistol match...IDPA or USPSA...there are always shooters there who don't reload. I've never gone home with fewer 9mm cases than I came withThere's so many shooters that reload at our club that anymore it's rare to find brass left behind.
I also picked up a little over 100 444 cases which I decaped, cleaned and used for trading.
Man and I feel like I scored if I find a hand full of 45Acp.I also picked up a little over 100 444 cases
I actually declined 50 or so 9mm on Monday. I see the guy most weeks and he’s always giving me his brass. But, I’ve got enough. Hard to believe it’s really me saying/doing this.Last time I was at the range about 3 weeks ago I picked up over 300 9mm brass cases all federal. I also picked up a little over 100 444 cases which I decaped, cleaned and used for trading. I typical will pick up brass in demand regardless of if I shoot or not. It does come in handy for trading materials.
I define "enough" as having as many cases as I have primers...makes for safer storage of primersBut, I’ve got enough. Hard to believe it’s really me saying/doing this.
I wrestle with myself on defining “enough”I define "enough" as having as many cases as I have primers...makes for safer storage of primers
The other defining factor is how much room I have to store them. As a general rule, I usually stop seriously collecting brass when I have about 10k semiauto cases and 5k revolver cases...in each caliberI wrestle with myself on defining “enough”
Holy mackerelThe other defining factor is how much room I have to store them. As a general rule, I usually stop seriously collecting brass when I have about 10k semiauto cases and 5k revolver cases...in each caliber
It isn't as many as it sounds.Holy mackerel
I,m lucky in the fact most shooters where I go know I reload and they give me their Brass, Most times I come home with a lot more Brass than I came with.At today's ammo prices it's not too hard to spend more time picking up spent brass than shooting. My friends say it's like an easter egg hunt. LOL
They way it looks it may be plastic we will be picking up soon, I have seen a few laying at the range already.
I to get given a lot of brass. I take buckets full of 9 mm to the scrapper. Last time it was 1.90 a pound. It helps pay for more ammo.
