CBC brass

[kennedy]

I have some cbc marked brass in .45LC, who made it?

It's Brazilian.

It's MAGTECH brass.

I'm not very impressed with it in 38 Spl and 44 Mag.

As another poster stated, it's made in Brasil and imported by Magtech. I've got a good quantity of it in .45lc. It's actually my favorite brass as it is a bit thinner than the Starline, and just a tad thinner than Win and Rem. I find that it obturates at a lower pressure and dosen't "blow by" from my Winchester M94 as bad as the thicker brass- hence, it takes less pressure to obturate it to the chamber walls. I've not lost any due to case splitting yet and I've been using the same 200 cases since 2005. I estimate about 20 loadisng so for.
I use it for my standard pressure .45lc loadings. For the "warm" loads, I use the Starline.

It's good brass. The primer pockets are snug, which I consider a plus. It loads well and holds up just fine. I also like MagTech primers, since they are just as sensitive as Federal primers in my tuned revolvers.

Hope this helps.

I have a lot of CBC (Magtech) 45 acp brass. I like it!

I used a lot of it in .38 Super nickel plated and .45acp, plain.
No problems, reloaded it many times, no splits, good accuracy.

The problem I have with CBC brass in 38 is the consistency in the size of the rim. A lot of them are too large to fit in my shellholder.

And in 44 Mag because the brass is so thin in comparison, I have loose bullets in CBC brass while all other makes of brass I have a firm crimp at the same die setting.

Other than that I have no complaints.

I have reloaded a few 100 cases at least 20 times, still going strong. I have yet had any .45colt brass fail yet, no cracks or splits. I do use new brass when loading hot ruger loads, Winchester and soon to be delivered starline.

I purchased a lot of that in 500 Mag.
I found it all to be excellent brass, no problems here.
