.357 Max brass?

[Jacks Grampa]

All I'm finding is Starline. Is there a better choice?

 

[lb-ft]

Back in the day Remington used to push out a batch every x years.

Honestly I don’t think having only Starline in this straight wall cartridge is a handicap. It’s great stuff and they don’t gouge.

I use Starline for heavy 357 Max loads and I'm very happy with it.

I would not consider Starline revolver brass a bad thing at all. What is better?

I run Starline 357 Magnum brass hard out of my 357 FA83...very hard. The brass doesn't seem to care and the revolver for sure doesn't.

I am not positive on their 357 Max brass, but they did make 360 DW brass some years ago that had a thicker or heavier head. I have some cut back to 357 Magnum length (fitted to that specific FA83) that also saw heavy loads. They have been reloaded many times and still are good as new.

I went to Starlines website to make sure I remembered correctly about the 360 DW brass (I was) and also checked their 357 Max brass. It also has thicker tapered walls. As there probably isn't much Remington 357 Max brass available, I am not sure there is a better choice. Heck, even if there is Remington 357 Max brass available, I am not sure it is a better choice.

I don’t own a .357 max but I can almost guarantee the starline is far superior to Remington brass!

I have been shooting 357 SM/Max since the 1980s. I started using Federal brass and now Starline. Starline is top quality in my experience.

I’ll second that. You cannot go wrong with Starline.

I have turned a lot of Starline 357 Max brass into 300 Rimmed Whisper for people over the years.

Good stuff.

Starline is better than any Remington brass I have ever used across all calibers.

No question Starline brass is very good. I use their brass in several calibers. That said. I've been using the same 300 pieces of Remington 357 Max brass in two Encore barrels for the last 10 years. Still have an unopened box of 500 Remington 357 Max that I believe was the last run made. I may never have to open it due to it's longevity.
