Overview
Built for handloaders working with the .45 Colt cartridge, this unprimed brass is suited to shooters who want to assemble loads for hunting or general handgun use. It reflects a cartridge originally developed for blackpowder, while also being presented here for smokeless powder applications. Starline notes that the brass has been tested to .44 Magnum pressures in gun systems suitable for such loads. New brass may require neck sizing for use with .452" and smaller bullets, so it is best approached with attention to your specific setup.
