Why our Brass is simply the best!         The story...
At Brass and Bullets we use a special method of cleaning and conditioning our once fired brass. First, we are a company that builds precision aircraft components. As our full time operation of machining instruments and parts we use various equipment to produce our parts. One such machine is an Ultra Sonic - Magnetic Pulse system that we use to super clean and polish parts to make them fit and work together flawlessly. This special machine cost us over $40,000 and we only use it for 8 hours a week. It does such a great job on out production parts it was well worth the investment.

Being an avid reloader for both recreation and target shooting I was using the traditional vibrating tumbler and walnut shells and corn cob method for years. One day I needed to clean a batch of 45 ACP cases for target shooting when I discovered that I was completely out of media and I had thrown out the old stuff already. It was Friday afternoon and I decided I'd just see what our cleaner would do on brass cases as we use it to clean and smooth out some of the brass parts that we make. I tossed in 500 45 cases and turned it on and went back to work. An hour later I was leaving and turned off the machine and dumped the brass out. Unbelievable! The brass that I threw in an hour before now looked better than new factory brass. It was clean and shinny on the outside and clean as new on the inside.

I went straight home and started running the cases thru my reloading press. Now carbide dies make resizing easy but when I put in these cases it was like they had been coated with butter. The first case I resized went in so easy I thought I had forgot to put the case in. The next few I thought I was resizing the same case. I loaded all 500 rounds and on Saturday morning I headed for the range. My groups were tighter than before and I was using the same load and powder. I also noticed that the neck tension was much better on seating the bullet that I did not have to use as much of a crimp to hold it in place.

Notice how clean and bright the inside of the cases are.

 

Long story short! I use the machine each weekend to process brass and it's so quick I end up with a lot more than I need for me. That's how we got started in the brass business. One more thing! My wife had a cow when I told her what I'd done with the expensive cleaning system. I finally convinced her that it did not effect the performance on our regular use of it for our parts construction and our business. But it took a few weeks.

Handgun Brass
View our handgun brass for reloading. We process our handgun brass from mostly police ranges and indoor ranges. Our police agencies shoot Sig's and Smith and Wesson handguns and very little of our brass is glock fired. You will be amazed at the difference in the quality and consistency or our brass. Once you try our reloading brass cases you can't even compare our brass cases for reloading to anyone else's.


Rifle Brass
Our rifle brass is processed the same way as our handgun brass and the benefits to our method of cleaning the cases using our system is obvious.  First, neck tension due to the completely clean inside of the neck helps increase accuracy and extends case life. The magnetic pulse function of the process serves to realign the molecules somewhat like cryogenics in freezing metal and make the case return to its natural state and won't let it get hardened.

How it works

After a case is fired there is burnt power and primer residue that lines the inside of the fired case. Cleaning in corn cob or crushed walnut shells cleans the outside of the cartridge case but does little for the inside of the case. Imagine every time you fire your gun a little sand and acid follows the bullet down the bore. This what happens if the burnt residue is not completely removed for the inside the case. After a while the buildup grows until it started flaking off the inside of the rifle or pistol case and is blown out the barrel along with the exploding gases of the powder charge and bullet.

Another problem with using the brass tumbler and most brass polishing agents is that many of them contain harsh chemicals that weaken the brass each time you clean them thus shortening the case life. When you buy brass at sources such as Ebay or local ranges look closely at the inside of the case. You'll notice that the inside is still dingy and even black with burnt powder residue. With high performance cartridges like the 357 Sig case neck tension is vastly important in preventing bullet set back. This is where the bullet is not held tight enough in the cases neck area and slides back into the cartridge case when entering the barrel. Even the slightest reduction in case capacity can result in dramatically increased chamber pressure and possible catastrophic failure. many of today's modern high performance cartridges are affected by this and extra care should always be exercised during reloading. This is another great reason why our cleaning process increases safety and accuracy.

 

Reload ammunition as good as or better than the factory makers like Winchester ammunition, Remington ammunition, Federal ammunition,  Hornady ammunition and others who sell factory ammo. Reloaded ammunition in many cases can out perform factory products ballistics and accuracy. Remember the factory assembles their ammo on an assembly line which will never be as precise as you can be taking the time to create each cartridge by hand.

Cost savings is another consideration when reloading ammunition. Currently some ammunition like the 9mmluger or 223 Remington can be hand loaded and save a little money while other cartridges like the 357 magnum or 44 magnum can be very much less expensive. On the average a box of 50 cartridges like the 357 magnum will cost about $5.00 to hand load opposed to retail prices ranging from $18.00 to $25.00. The bonus is that not only are you saving money but you'll see better accuracy and performance.

If you shoot a handgun like Glock, Smith and Wesson, Clot or Sig Sauer which are all accurate hand guns you can still improve on the accuracy using your reloaded ammo. I like to shoot the 44 magnum a lot but don't like the kick of the factory loads. I reload my 44's down to around 1000 FPS and get great target accuracy while reducing the felt recoil by as much as 50%.

 With ammunition cost soaring now is the time to start reloading. You can save considerable money and increase accuracy of your shooting while having a lot of fun. You can load many types and kinds of bullets that you don't find in your local store or gun shop. Why not start a great hobby today and learn to reload.
