US Made 6BR brass at Graf?

[hoz53]

I see Graf is advertising US made 6br brass for 89.00/100– anybody know who makes this? seems like it would be alpha,agd or peterson but it is considerably cheaper than those brands on the graf site.

Not much of a savings for a no name brass.

What's the alloy?
Without that info, we don't know anything up front that matters.

I dont know the alloy of Lapua, adg, Remington, Peterson, alfa, Winchester. Im not sure it means anything to me to start out with. Im just saying for that price i would buy the other. For another $20 less it would be worth a try.

yes, dented shoulder, water spots, bent necks, but biggest issue multiple lots.

Same response I got about some blem 7BR I purchased Nov '22, Graf's customer service confirmed it was Peterson.

You might buy it and find out it's just as good as the TOP named brass. Only way to find out? Try it and see for yourself.
Like "blem" bullets? Cost less and your target will never know the difference in looks.
Don't think anybody would be selling trash. They DO have a reputation to think about.

im trying to convince myself— i do have a bitof new 6br brass—are you getting some mike?

Buy a bunch-
Turn all the necks

This way you can sell it for $175-per 100 on the next brass shortage…no one will ever know… seems some will buy anything, from a watching stand point..

I grabbed a bunch of the Peterson 7BR that Graf's sold that way. A few necks had dings that came right out over a mandrel. It makes really good 30BR brass. -Al
