Peterson Brass

[Ccrider]

I just want to say I have really liked the PCC brass I have used, and I cannot believe how fast your product line has grown. Keep doing what you’re doing.

So they make PPC brass?

 

[jimmymac]

No. He said PCC. I'm assuming that means Peterson Cartridge Company.

It sure would be nice if they made 220 Russian brass like @Dusty Stevens suggested. Not unhappy with Lapua, but I'd give it a go.

As long as we’re making requests, I would love to see 9.3x64 and 8x68S. Big cases without a belt. Great for wildcats.

 

[miningshawn]

Tim,

With the largest number of wildcatters (unproven but probable) present, I suggest making basic brass available. While it would be great to see every wildcat headstamp available, it is economically unfeasible.

Basic brass in the popular boltfaces would be welcome. There is one manufacturer that offers .223 and Grendel basic; but that's it. It would be excellent to have .375, .440, .473, and .532 available.

Is this asking a little much?

I tried some of Petersons 375 Cheytac brass early on. I was super excited to see it... and after trying it, was super pleased. Peterson Cartridge are great guys, with a great mission.

They have our full support!

I have two hundred loaded 6.5 Creedmoor. I have shot 70 in an unofficial 500 yd F Class match in March. Impressed going in to my second year.

Hi Tim,
Please make 223rem match brass with good case capacity to handle Berger and Sierra heavy bullets. Our ISRA F class league have a lot of 223rem shooters competing. With the new Berger 85.5gr hybrid bullets a lot more shooters will be shooting this caliber. I may use it in LR competition as well. Thanks and welcome to our forum.
Steve

I respectfully second that request. I would like to use high quality 223 brass made in this country to compete with.

280 Ackley is in development and I will keep everyone posted as that process continues ! Stay tuned.

Well this is fantastic news, as it happens I am moving from the 280AI to the 284 Shehane specifically because you make excellent 284 brass. 280AI would definitely open up the calibre to a lot of shooters as there hasn't been a truly top notch option since RWS stopped making 280 brass a few years ago.

 

[Willow]

300 WSM is in development , however I cannot give an exact date at this time. A Lot goes into caliber development and unfortunately isn't an overnight process ! This is our goal , to hear from shooters and work with the industry to satisfy demand ! Thank you !

I have no doubt this will be a winner when you're finally happy with the final spec.

 

[Joe Salt]

Tim If you need someone to test the 300 WSM brass I'd be more than happy to test it for you. You have my Email.

I have used Peterson brass exclusively since the company first opened for all of my calibers (308, 375 cheytac, 338 lapua) with one exception. When Peterson first opened and sold their own brass I found the tech support to be excellent, the higher ups were willing to talk to customers on the phone, and when things screwed up they made it right. I hope that type of customer service continues now that the customer has to go through others to purchase the brass.

One caliber I have been asking Peterson directly for, for two years now is 416 Barrett. Currently there is only one company's brass available that is even remotely viable and certainly could stand both improvement and competition. I have communicated with Bertram and they stated that they will no longer make 416 Barrett brass again because of the low demand. I believe with so many shooters getting interested in ELR as well as King of 2 miles, the 416 would be both a competitive caliber, and a good marketing strategy since I believe most shooter would switch to Peterson 416 in heart beat, myself included. Winners would proudly display their guns and components including potentially Peterson brass.

Anyway, keep up the great work and I love Peterson brass for its consistency, longevity, and hopefully continued first class customer service. The fact that the company is will to ask for input speaks tons to this issue.

I bought my first box of 308 SRP directly from Peterson almost two years ago. Still on that first box of fifty. Now have at least 50 reloads on them. Primer pockets still tight and no splits. I have done full resizing, neck sizing only and have fired them in 3 different 308 rifles. I do anneal them after every firing. Can't wear them out. Hope to see some 270
Winchester cases someday. Excellent Brass!

I am suing Peterson 6BR brass in one particular rifle.

I found this statement to be very humorous!

 

[shoot4fun]

I found this statement to be very humorous!

What a difference two little letters can make!!!!! LOL

 

[TC260]

Just picked up my first PCC cases in 6br to form into 30br. Happy to see high quality brass being made in the USA.

I'll also throw in another vote for 223 basic brass.

Edit...Hadn't looked at the website in a while and what do you know, 7mm BR brass! I haven't had one for a few years but love me a 7br. I have a spare action that was going to be a 7tcu throated for 120 Ballistic tips with a light contour for a short range deer rifle. Since it's a .473 bf may just go with a 7br instead since the dies are sitting unused and would forgo a bolt swap. Plus it's nice every once in a while to have properly head stamped brass

Purchased a box of 6 creedmoor, SRP Peterson brass , loaded 35 cases 23 times apiece, 15 cases 18-20 times, no split necks, Zero Loose primer pockets, brass is still in great shape. Would Like to see 204 ruger brass

 

[Evan]

221 Fireball for all the guys out there, like me, that go small. I'm currently using Lapua brass to make my 20 Vartarg and would without hesitation buy some Peterson brass too.

EDIT: @Peterson Cartridge Company I also wanted to add that I bought some of your 6.5x47 for my incoming BR gun. Measures very well and I have ever confidence that it will perform!

I have 100 338 lapua cases. 11 firings on each. Lost one due to a split neck on the 10th or 11th firing. Primer pockets are still very tight. In fact, the primer pockets are too tight. I had to uniform the pockets in the beginning just to get the primers to seat properly. Even after 10 firings I feel they are bit too tight. I've tried CCI, Winchester and Federal primers. Can't believe I'm complaining about tight primer pockets, lol. Too tight is certainly better than too loose!

There is no hint of thinning in the case walls near the head due to being FL sized. With that and these super tight primer pockets the cases should last a very long time. Its a shame about the one split neck. I'm not annealing, maybe I need to.

Thank you for the feedback. Yes our primer pockets are tight. In most cases weve found that some hand priming tools can struggle in proper seating of the primers. In most cases after the first firing the primers seat easier. Personal experience and feedback tell us that the Sinclair seating tool as well as a couple others have no issues in proper , consistent seating. Again , thank you for your feedback.

How about 6mm Dasher. It's a pain in the butt to fire form the 6BR to get dasher brass. A lot of folks on this site shoot Dasher.
