.223
Basic (Small Rifle primer)
Un-Tapered (W/O Caliber Designation) (for "Wildcats")
This brass is the same as our standard .223 Remington
brass except that it has not been formed and has no
caliber designation on the head stamp. It should work
perfectly for most .223 Remington based wildcats. This
brass has not been annealed, and will require a body
anneal prior to forming, and possibly a neck anneal
after forming, depending on how far it is necked down.
Wall thickness at the mouth of this brass is
approximately .009", which is the same as our .223 brass
prior to forming (the walls will get thicker when formed
down, and the case will also get longer). Length is
approximately 1.800"
*Since this is a basic case, and Starline has no control
over how it is formed, we accept no liability and offer
no warranty in its use or your inability to properly
form cases. Since this case has not been formed there
may be more out-of-round mouths than normal.
Calibers that this could possibly be formed into: 6mm
TCU, 6.5 TCU, 7mm TCU, 6x45mm, .25-45 Sharps, 6mm
Mongoose, 7.62x40WT, 7Raptor, .357 MAX AR, etc.
.223
Remington (Small Rifle primer)
.223 Rem, .223, 5.56, 5.56mm Nato, 5.56x45mm
The .223 Remington is one of the most widely used center
fire cartridges today. Tracing its roots back to the
.222 Remington, the .223 was designed to achieve certain
ballistics for military use. The .223 Remington, when in
its military form, is known as the 5.56x45mm NATO. The
differences between the two being the pressures that
they are loaded at and the chamber in the firearm
itself.
The .223 has established itself as an excellent varmint
and target caliber. It dominates all other rifle
calibers in competitions such as 3-gun, and has a
dedicated following in several other sports due to its
low recoil and accuracy potential. Those two attributes
coupled with good velocity allow it to excel as a
varmint gun also.
When loaded at .223 Remington pressures, our brass is
safe to use in any firearm chambered for .223 or
5.56x45mm. If loaded to 5.56 pressures, you need to use
firearms labeled for use with 5.56mm. It can be unsafe
to fire 5.56mm ammunition in firearms with a .223
Remington chamber.
224 Valkyrie (Small Rifle primer)
1.588 - 1.592 O.A.L.
The .224 Valkyrie was introduced in late 2017 by
Federal. Unlike many calibers in the past that have been
a joint effort between an ammo company and a single
firearm company, the Valkyrie is already being chambered
by several AR-15 manufacturers such as LaRue, JP
Enterprises, and CMMG as well as several barrel makers
such as Satern and Lothar-Walther.
The .224 Valkyrie is touted for its long range
capabilities. While not the fastest factory .22 caliber
AR chambering, its short fat case allows it to fit
longer, high BC bullets. This means that it can keep a
90 grain Sierra bullet supersonic to 1300 yards, with
much less recoil than other calibers. AR type rifles can
be converted by changing the barrel and using a 6.8 SPC
bolt and magazines.
.243 Win
(Large Rifle primer)
.243 Winchester, 243, 6×52mm
Introduced in 1955 by Winchester, the .243 Winchester is
one of the most popular and versatile cartridges
available. Derived from the .308 Winchester, the .243's
low recoil and flat trajectory make it an excellent all
around cartridge. Due to a wide bullet selection being
readily available, the .243 can be applied just as well
on the shooting bench looking over prairie dog town as
it can waiting for a whitetail from 15’ up a tree. The
243’s accuracy potential is excellent making it a
popular choice of competitive shooters.
.260
Remington (Large Rifle primer)
**6.5-08, **6.5-08 A-Square, .260 Rem
Introduced in 1997, the .260 Remington is another
wildcat turned commercial cartridge. Utilizing a 6.5mm
(.264") diameter bullet, the .260 has a lot less recoil
than its .308 parent case, but shoots much flatter. This
has made it very popular in many shooting sports, and
makes it an excellent choice for hunting in much of the
U.S.
** As with all commercialized wildcat cartridges, minor
variations in Pre-SAAMI chambers may not headspace
properly or may have clearance issues with SAAMI spec
brass
.277 Wolverine (Small Rifle primer)
The .277 Wolverine is a 5.56 NATO based wildcat that was
designed to give near 6.8 SPC performance out of an
AR-15 type rifle, without requiring a specialized bolt
or magazines. Since the Wolverine only requires a barrel
change, it is one of the most affordable AR conversions.
This is touted as an all-purpose cartridge that not only
gives excellent down range performance for its size, but
it is also well suited to pistol or SBR, and
subsonic/suppressed applications.
.30-30 Winchester (Large
Rifle primer)
.30 WCF
2.027 - 2.033 O.A.L.
Introduced in early 1895 for the Winchester Model
1894 lever-action rifle, the .30-30 was the USA's
first small-bore, sporting rifle cartridge
designed for smokeless powder. Jacketed bullets
for the .30-30 are .308 inches in nominal
diameter. Cast lead bullets for the .30-30 are
also popular and usually are .309 inches in
diameter.
The .30-30 is considered to be the "entry-class"
for modern big-game hunting cartridges. While it
is very effective on deer-sized and black
bear-sized game, most commercial loadings are
limited in effective range to about 200 yd for
that purpose, except when using ballistic-tip
ammunition. The cartridge is typically loaded with
bullets weighing between 150 and 170 grains but
lighter loads are possible. Bullets of up to 180 gr
can be used, but the overall length restrictions
of the lever-action rifles most commonly chambered
for this round limit their usefulness.

32 S&W Long Brass (Small Pistol primer)
32 S&W Long Brass (Small Pistol primer)
0.911 - 0.916 O.A.L.
Designed for use in small framed revolvers, this
cartridge is basically a shortened version of the .32
H&R Magnum. This cartridge is safe to fire in .32 H&R
revolvers. **May not work with some wadcutter loads due
to length of internal taper of case.

32-20 Brass (Small Pistol primer)
32-20 Win, 32-20 Winchester, 32-20 WCF, 32-20
Marlin
1.280 - 1.286 O.A.L.
Designed for use in rifles and single action
revolvers, this cartridge is making a strong
comeback with the advent of cowboy action
shooting. This cartridge can also be formed by
experienced cartridge converters into .25-20*
and .218 Bee*. And with special forming dies
available from RCBS and Lee, you can form a
shortened version of the 7.62 Nagant cartridge. |
327 Federal Mag
(Small Pistol or Magnum Small Pistol primer)
327 Federal, 327 Mag, 327 Federal Magnum
1.191 - 1.196 O.A.L.
327 Federal brass is a beefed up lengthened verison of
the 32 H&R Mag. It was designed as a personal defense
cartridge. It has light recoil making it easy to handle
due to firing light weight bullets at high velocities.
The 327 also has potential as a small game cartridge.

357 Mag Brass: Basically a lengthened version of
the .38 special, the 357 Magnum is one of the most
popular handgun calibers in the world. Almost
every revolver manufacturer makes a firearm in
this chambering. Also used in many lever action
carbines. 357 Magnum Brass. |

handgun calibers in the world. Almost every revolver
manufacturer makes a firearm in this chambering. Also
used in many lever action carbines. 357 Magnum Brass.
.300
Blackout (Small Rifle primer)
.300 AAC Blackout, .300 BLK, 7.62x35mm
The .300 Blackout is based off of a shortened 5.56x45mm
case that is necked to .30 caliber. For AR-15 platform
rifles and pistols it only requires changing the barrel
to go from 5.56 to .300 Blackout. The Blackout's main
purpose is to be used at subsonic velocities in
suppressed firearms. Many bolt action and single shot
rifles are now being produced in this caliber as well.
.308
Match (Small Rifle primer)
.308 Winchester "Palma", .308 Winchester Small Rifle
The .308 Match is our small primer version of the .308
Winchester case. Many competitive shooters prefer the
consistent velocities produced by small rifle primers.
Like all of our other small primer rifle cases, we
utilize our standard .080" flash hole diameter, as we
feel it gives better ignition with slower burning and
harder to ignite powders, making it more user friendly
than many of the small primer/small flash hole versions
of this caliber*.
For the Large Rifle Primer version, please see our .308
Win.
*As with all types of cases this large with small
primer pockets, it will require care in powder and
primer selection in cooler temperatures to prevent hang
fires. Single-based propellants are generally easier to
ignite and a quality primer such as the Remington 7 1/2
BR are recommended.
.308 Win
(Large Rifle primer)
.308 Winchester, .308, 7.62mm Nato, 7.62x51mm
The venerable .308 Winchester has made quite a name for
itself since it was first introduced in 1952. The .308
and its military equivalent, the 7.62 x 51mm Nato, is a
very efficient cartridge that has excellent ballistics,
while still being fairly easy on the shoulder. That, and
its inherent accuracy have kept it thriving as both a
competition and hunting caliber.
For the Small Rifle Primer version of our .308 Win,
please see our .308
Match
.338
Federal (Large Rifle primer)
(.338-08**)
One of the newest members of the .308 Winchester family,
the .338 Federal was introduced in 2006 by Federal and
Sako. It is capable of achieving the same muzzle energy
as some magnum calibers with less recoil. It also fits
in standard length short action rifles and AR-10's
without sacrificing magazine capacity. It hits harder
than the .308, and shoots flatter than the .358
Winchester, making it an excellent choice for a close to
mid-range hunting caliber. One thing to consider when
selecting hunting bullets for the .338 Federal is that
most bullets available in .338 caliber were designed
for higher velocity cartridges. Generally bullets under
200 grains or ones specifically designed for it are your
best option for hunting. Check with your bullet
manufacturer of choice for their recommendation.
**Not all .338-08 wildcats were chambered the same and
may not headspace correctly with factory .338 Federal
brass or ammunition.
.348 Winchester (Large Rifle primer)
.348 Win
2.242 - 2.248 O.A.L.
The .348 Winchester was developed for the
Winchester Model 71 lever action rifle in 1936.
Touted as being one of the most powerful lever
action cartridges available, it was popular for
hunting large game all across America. The .348
Winchester also serves as the base for several
wildcat cartridges.
|
.358
Winchester (Large Rifle primer)
8.8x51mm
Based on the .308 Winchester, the .358 Winchester was
introduced by Winchester in 1955 for use in lever and
bolt-action rifles. While it had not seen the
widespread popularity as the other .308 -based
cartridges, its brush busting capability still makes it
an excellent choice for hunting any of North America's
big game. With the recent rise in popularity of AR-10
style rifles, the .358 Winchester is starting to be
chambered in it because the .358 gives the AR-10 just a
little more thump than the .308 Winchester.
.444
Marlin (Large Rifle primer)
The 444 Marlin was introduced in the mid- 60's to give
their model 336 Lever gun a boost in horsepower. Over
the years the .444 has been offered in a number of
rifles and even a few pistols. It is another caliber
that is seeing new life due to the changing game laws in
many states allowing straight wall cartridges for deer
hunting where they were previously limited to slug guns
and muzzleloaders.
.450
Bushmaster (Small Rifle primer)
The 450 Bushmaster was designed as a close range, big
bore hunting caliber for the AR-15 platform. As with
most AR cartridge conversions, it only requires swapping
out the upper receiver. With the introduction of some
new bolt action rifles in this caliber and many states
changing game laws allowing straight wall cartridges for
deer hunting, the .450 Bushmaster is enjoying a surge
in popularity.

by the late Harry Sanford and was produced under several
names such as A.M.T., Automag Inc., and High Standard.

44-40 Brass (Large Pistol primer)
44-40 Winchester Brass, 44-40 Win Brass, 44 Win Brass,
44-40WCF Brass, 44 Winchester Brass, 44-40 Marlin Brass
1.294 - 1.300 O.A.L.
Also known as the .44-40 Winchester, .44 WCF, and .44
Winchester, this caliber gained popularity because of
its availability in both rifles and handguns. The advent
of Cowboy Action Shooting has helped to revive this
obsolete vintage cartridge. Our .44-40 brass has a wall
thickness of .0065" but is still stiffer and less
fragile than other brands, which makes it much easier to
reload.
*It has come to our attention that some Uberti revolvers
have issues with light hammer strikes and will only fire
with Federal primers, which we generally recommend for
revolvers anyway.
445 Super Mag Brass (Large Pistol primer)
445 Super Magnum Brass, E.T. Gates 445 Super Mag Brass
1.600 - 1.610 O.A.L.
Designed by Elgin T. Gates for silhouette shooting, the

0.892 - 0.897 O.A.L.
The 45 Auto+P is a strengthened version of the 45
Auto with the same external dimensions. A thicker
web and heavier sidewall at base strengthens the
case in potentially unsupported areas. This case
has approximately 2 grains less internal water
capacity than the standard 45 Auto.

45 Auto Brass (Large Pistol primer)
45 ACP, 45 Automatic, 45 Automatic Colt Pistol
0.892 - 0.897 O.A.L.
.45 Auto Brass: Designed by John Browning, the .45
Auto, or .45 ACP, has been adopted at one point or
another by several governments as their official
military handgun chambering. It is still popular
in the U.S. as a personal defense or target gun.
|
45 Auto Rim Brass (Large Pistol primer)
45 AR, 45 Automatic Rimmed
0.889 - 0.894 O.A.L.
The .45 Auto Rim has an extra thick rim that allows it
to be used without a moon clip in revolvers designed for
.45 Auto/moon clip combination. It is built with the
same integrity as our 45 Colt case. THIS
CASE WILL NOT WORK IN SINGLE ACTION REVOLVERS CHAMBERED
FOR .45 AUTO (such as the Ruger Blackhawk with .45 Auto
cylinder).
45
Colt Brass (Large Pistol primer)
45 Long Colt, 45 LC
1.270 - 1.280 O.A.L.
45 Colt Brass. Originally designed for use with
blackpowder, the .45 Colt is one of the most powerful,
commonly available handgun cartridges when loaded with
smokeless powder. Our .45 Colt 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.
45 Cowboy Special (Large Pistol primer)
Cowboy 45 Special, 45 SPL, C45S
0.892 - 0.896 O.A.L.
The Cowboy .45 Special is a case that is optimized for
use with light loads in .45 Colt caliber revolvers for
Cowboy Action Shooting. Light loads with excessive
airspace are a recipe for case splits and erratic
function. By using the Cowboy .45 Special case, with its
.45 Colt rim and .45 Auto length, the problem no longer
exists. While many claim that .45 Auto load data can be
used in this caliber, it is important to realize the
limitations of the firearm it is chambered in and only
use loads that fall within the pressure range of that
firearm. Generally these can be loaded using .45 Colt
dies and a modified (shortened) crimp die, or .45 Auto
Rim roll crimp die.
45 G.A.P. Brass (Small Pistol primer)
45 Glock, 45 Glock Auto Pistol
0.752 - 0.758 O.A.L.
This .45 Auto based case is designed for the 45 Glock
Auto Pistol just recently released. Should not be used
in firearms chambered for .45 Auto.
45 RAPTOR (Large Rifle primer)
1.790 - 1.796 O.A.L.
The 45 Raptor is a rimless .460 S&W mag that was
designed for use in the AR-10 platform. It can now be
found in some bolt-action rifles, such as the Savage
Model 10. To convert for bolt-action rifles it requires
only a barrel change and for AR-10 platform rifles it
requires a barrel change and a modified magazine. The
45 Raptor uses .460 S&W load data and 45 colt/454 casull
or .460 S&W dies.
45 S&W Schofield Brass (Large Pistol primer)
45 Smith & Wesson, 45 Schofield, 45 S&W
1.090 - 1.100 O.A.L.
45 Schofield is similar to the 45 Colt.
Differences include head diameter approximately
.010" larger, case length is 1.090" to 1.100"
compared to 1.273" to 1.283" in the .45 Colt.
Substantially less internal capacity for shooting
light loads in most 45 Colt guns with no
modifications. You may need to tune extractor on
some lever action rifles, or decrease diameter of
the ratchet on the cylinder by .010 to accommodate
the larger head diameter in Ruger Vaquero and
Colts. Also increases magazine capacity in rifles.
|
45 Super Brass (Large Pistol primer)
0.892 - 0.897 O.A.L.
45 Super* is the same externally as the 45 Auto, but has
a thicker web, denser grain structure in the metal, and
special heat treat process that enhances the durability
of the case. Similar internal capacity as the 45 Auto.
Some 45 Super load data was published by Triton
Cartridge before they went out of business. *Loads to be
shot ONLY in guns modified professionally to handle
extreme pressures of this cartridge. DO NOT SHOOT IN
STANDARD 45 AUTO!
45 Win Mag Brass (Magnum Large Pistol primer)
45 Winchester Magnum Brass, 45 Win Magnum Brass,

Auto. Firearms have been available from Wildey, Magnum
Research, L.A.R., and Thompson/Center. 45 Winchester
Magnum.
45-100 Brass (.45-2.6) (Large Rifle primer)
45-100 Sharps
2.596 - 2.603 O.A.L.
This is a .45-70 based case that is 2.6 inches
long and is suitable for smokeless or black powder
loads. When loading with black powder, annealing
of mouth may be necessary to allow case to
properly seal chamber due to lower pressures
generated by these loads. Our case is produced
very strong to withstand high pressure loads
associated with smokeless hunting loads and since
the only way to make brass harder is to work the
material our only option is to leave them stiffer
so the customers can anneal for specific
application. See annealing procedure in Commonly
Asked Questions, section #4.

45-70 Gov't Brass
(Large Rifle Primer)
45-70 Government Brass, 45-70 Marlin Brass, 45-70 Govt
Brass
Our .45-70 brass has been tested at elevated pressures
suitable for Magnum Heavy Hunting Loads in adequate gun
systems. When loading with black powder, annealing of
mouth may be necessary to allow case to properly seal
chamber due to lower pressures generated by these loads.
Our case is produced very strong to withstand high
pressure loads associated with smokeless hunting loads
and since the only way to make brass harder is to work
the material our only option is to leave them stiffer so
the customers can anneal for specific application.
45-90
Brass (.45-2.4) (Large Rifle primer)
45-82 Win, 45-85 Win,45-90 Win, 45-90 Winchester
This is a .45-70 based case that is 2.4 inches long and
is suitable for smokeless or black powder loads. When
loading with black powder, annealing of mouth may be
necessary to allow case to properly seal chamber due to
lower pressures generated by these loads. Our case is
produced very strong to withstand high pressure loads
associated with smokeless hunting loads and since the
only way to make brass harder is to work the material
our only option is to leave them stiffer so the
customers can anneal for specific application.
454
Casull Brass (Small Rifle primer)
Originating in 1957, the .454 Casull is one of the most
powerful revolver cartridges available today. This is
basically a magnum version of the .45 Colt. It has been
lengthened by .100" so it can't be fired in a .45 Colt
firearm, though .45 Colt can be fired safely in a .454
Casull. Gun systems are available from Freedom Arms,
Taurus, Ruger, Magnum Research, and Thompson/Center.
455
Webley MKII (Large Pistol primer)
The .455 Webley MKII is a British revolver cartridge
designed for their military in the late 1800's. This
brass will work for all of the Webley MKII, MKIII,MKIV,
MKV, and MKVI cartridges. The original MKI case is
longer, but this will work as a short substitute for it.
It is important to note that the Webley
cartridges designations don't necessarily coincide with
that model revolver, and smokeless powder loads may not
be safe in all revolvers.
*It is important to note that many Webley revolvers in
the US have been modified to use the much thicker rimmed
.45 Auto Rim cartridge by machining the cylinder to
accept the thicker rims. Firearms modified as such will
not work with standard .455 MKII brass.
458
HAM'R (Small Rifle primer)
The .458 HAM'R is a .458 SOCOM based caliber that was
designed by Bill Wilson to push a 300 grain
projectile 200fps faster than the SOCOM. Due to
limitations of the bolt and extension of the AR-15, the
.458 HAM'R is chambered in a hybrid AR platform that
utilizes a larger diameter bolt and extension. This
allows the .458 HAM'R to reach its full potential while
still being a fairly lightweight carbine.
458
SOCOM Brass (Large Pistol primer)
The SOCOM is an awesome cartridge that is basically a
long 50AE (O.A.L. of 1.575") with a rebated .308 style
head configuration, necked down to utilize a .458"
diameter projectiles. It has been chambered in some bolt
guns but its claim to fame is in the AR-15 platform.
460
Rowland Brass (Large Pistol primer)
The .460 Rowland is a lengthened, heavy duty .45 Auto
based case designed by Johnny Rowland. It delivers .44
Magnum ballistics in a semi-automatic handguns chambered
for this cutting edge cartridge.
460
S&W Mag Brass (Large Rifle primer)
460 Smith&Wesson, 460 Mag
The highest velocity revolver cartridge ever produced,
this .45 caliber chambering is basically a lengthened
.454 Casull.
475
Linebaugh Brass (Large Rifle primer)
The .475 and .500 Linebaugh are among the most powerful
hunting revolver calibers available today. Several
custom gun makers chamber special revolvers for this
proprietary cartridge. Freedom Arms is also now
chambering in .475. The .475 fires a .476" diameter cast
projectile or a .475" diameter jacketed bullet.
475
Wildey Mag Brass (Large Pistol primer)
475 Wildey, Wildey Magnum
475 Wildey Mag - Starline has made this case exclusively
for the manufacturer of the gun for many years. Now you
can purchase direct from us. This gun gained notoriety
in the Charles Bronson Death Wish Movies. Uses a .475
diameter bullet and contains a large pistol pocket.
480
Ruger Brass (Large Pistol primer)
Based on the .45-70 case, this propriet
ary cartridge is
made popular because of its big power but manageable
recoil. Firearms are available from Ruger.
5 in 1
Blank Brass (Large Rifle primer)
45 Colt Blank Brass, 44-40 Blank Brass, 38-40 Blank
Brass, 44 Mag Blank Brass, 44 SPL Blank Brass.
The 5 in 1 is a general blank case that is designed to
feed in lever action rifles. It is the same length as a
loaded cartridge in 45 Colt, 44-40, 38-40 and 44 MAG and
will chamber in all (must neck for 38-40). Will also
chamber in 44 SPL if trimmed. It accepts large rifle
primers and contains .140 diameter
5.56x45mm Brass (Small Rifle primer)
5.56, 5.56mm NATO, 5.56x45
1.745 - 1.750 O.A.L.
The 5.56x45mm NATO is the military version of the .223
Remington, which is one of the most widely
used centerfire cartridges today. Starline’s
5.56x45mm brass is identical to Starline’s .223
Remington brass except for a slight change in
the metallurgy making it harder at the base of the
case.
When loaded at .223
Remington pressures, Starline's .223 brass
is safe to use in any firearm chambered for .223 or
5.56x45mm. If loaded to 5.56 pressures, you need
to use firearms labeled for use with 5.56mm. It
can be unsafe to fire 5.56mm ammunition in
firearms with a .223 Remington chamber.

This cartridge is a lengthened version of the .500
Linebaugh. Case is 2.1 inches long. Designed for bear
hunting. Guns are built by Hamilton Bower, Jim West,
Reagan Nonneman and others.
50
Beowulf® Brass (Magnum Large Pistol primer)
50 BEO
The 50 BEOWULF® is a powerful big bore cartridge
designed for use in AR style rifles. The brass case is
essentially a lengthened 50 AE (1.650 long) with a
rebated 7.62x39 style head. This brass case is designed
to use a large magnum pistol primer.
50-110
Win Brass (Large Rifle primer)
50-100 Winchester, 50-105 Win, 50-110 Win
Originally designed for use with black powder, when
loaded with smokeless powder in adequate gun systems, it
can achieve power comparable to that of many British
safari calibers. Designed for use with a .510"-.512"
Dia. projectile. 50-110 Winchester
50-70
Gov't Brass (Large Rifle primer)
50-70 Government, 50-70 Musket, 50-70
Originally designed for black powder, this obsolete
vintage cartridge is again rising in popularity due to
the advent of cowboy action shooting and Black powder
Silhouette competition. 50-70 Government Brass / 50-70
Govt Brass
50-90
Sharps Brass (Large Rifle primer)
50-100 Sharps, 50-110 Sharps
Originally designed for black powder, this obsolete
vintage cartridge is again rising in popularity due to
the advent of cowboy action shooting and Black powder
Silhouette competition.
500 Auto
Max (Large Rifle primer)
The .500 Auto Max was
designed by Big Horn Armory for use in their AR500
rifle, which is based on the AR-10 sized platform. The
.500 Auto Max is essentially a rimless .500 S&W Magnum.
It is a very versatile cartridge; it can handle anything
from prairie dogs to pachyderms to Peterbilts, truck
stopping power in a platform weighing less than 10
pounds. The .500 Auto Max uses the same reloading dies,
shell holders & load data as the .500 S&W Mag, with the
exception of requiring a taper crimp instead of the
standard roll crimp. This is due to the Auto Max head
spacing off of the mouth of the case instead of the rim.
500
Linebaugh Brass (Large Rifle primer)
The .475 and .500 Linebaugh are among the most powerful
hunting revolver calibers available today. Several
custom gun makers chamber special revolvers for this
proprietary cartridge. The .500 Linebaugh uses a .510"
diameter projectile.
500 S&W
Mag Brass (Large Rifle primer)
500 Smith & Wesson Brass, 500 S&W Brass, 500 Mag Brass
The Initial run of 500 S&W Mag (R) cases was built to
use large pistol primer per Smith & Wesson and Cor-bon
specifications. On July 28, 2003, Smith & Wesson and Cor-bon
changed specification of primer pocket to be large
rifle. Rifle primers are same diameter as pistol except
they are approximately .006" taller. This was done to
prevent primer from being pierced by firing pin when
loaded with max loads and heavy bullets (bullets over
400 grains). It was determined that hole in primer
allowed pressure to damage firing pin and bushing, kind
of like a cutting torch and the harder cup of a rifle
primer will prevent occurrence. All cases sold by
Starline, Inc. after July 28, 2003, will contain a large
rifle primer pocket to accept a large rifle primer.
Cor-bon has also tested and recommends CCI 250 primers
(Magnum Large Rifle). Our new cases will have an "R"
after the "Mag" on head stamp to signify rifle pocket.
If you have previously purchased 500 cases without "R"
on head stamp and wish to modify, you can use a large
rifle pocket uniformer to deepen primer pocket to accept
large rifle primers by deepening pocket approximately
.006". This will not affect integrity of case. For
concerns regarding situation contact Smith & Wesson or
Cor-bon as they designed case and subsequently changed
it.
500
Special (Large Rifle primer)
500 S&W Special
The .500 Special was introduced in 2004 by Corbon for
use with reduced loads in the .500 S&W Magnum revolvers.
With a case length equal to a 44 magnum (.350 shorter
than standard .500 S&W Mag) it allows users to shoot
with dramatically less recoil while still retaining
performance greater than the 44 Magnum.
56-50
Spencer (Taylor's) Brass (Large Rifle primer)
The 56-50 Spencer (Taylor's) was built to C.I.P.
specifications for operation in the Taylor Arms 56-50
Spencer. Rim diameter is .629" to .632", which may be
too small to eject properly in some originals. Rim
thickness is .057" to .061". Thickness of wall at mouth
is .0125" average. Case mouth may need to be annealed if
not sealing properly with low pressure loads. Maximum
bullet seating depth is .375".
6.5
Creedmoor (Large Rifle primer)
6.5mm CM, 6.5mm Creedmoor
The 6.5 Creedmoor was designed as a target caliber in
2007 by Hornady but has become an extremely popular
hunting caliber as well. While it isn't as long as some
of the other 6.5 caliber short action calibers, such as
the .260 Remington, the Creedmoor utilizes a 30°
shoulder and very little body taper to help it achieve
similar ballistics. The shorter length also gives it
more versatility as far as bullet seating depth is
concerned. Almost every major rifle company offers
either a bolt-action rifle or a modern sporting rifle in
the 6.5 Creedmoor due to its versatility and inherent
accuracy.
Our 6.5 Creedmoor brass uses a Large Rifle Primer. This
is the standard for this round and it is what many
prefer due to its reliable ignition no matter what
temperature you are shooting in or the burn rate of your
powder. For
the Small Rifle Primer version, please see our SR
6.5 CM case.
6.5
Grendel (Small Rifle primer)
6.5x39mm
The 6.5 Grendel was designed for use in an AR-15 type
rifle to offer ballistics similar to the .308
Winchester, with less recoil. This flat shooting round
utilizes the inherently accurate, high ballistic
coefficient 6.5mm diameter bullet. Its short case length
allows it to use some of the longer, heavier match
bullets, making this caliber one of the best choices for
long range shooting out of an AR. With proper bullet
selection, this caliber is no slouch in the field
either, being suitable for deer-size game as well as
varmint hunting.
Conversion of an AR to 6.5 Grendel requires a new bolt,
barrel and magazines to feed the larger diameter
cartridge. Several companies offer completed AR uppers
and firearms, and reloading dies are readily available.
Several manufacturers are now producing bolt action
rifles in this caliber, many of which are built on
“mini” actions, making for a lightweight rifle with
plenty of range.
Our 6.5 Grendel brass uses the standard .080" flash hole
as opposed to a few companies that use the .060" flash
hole.
6.8
Basic (Small Rifle primer)
This brass is the same as our standard 6.8 SPC brass
except that it has not been formed and has no caliber
designation on the head stamp. It should work perfectly
for most 6.8 SPC based wildcats. This brass has not been
annealed, and will require a body anneal prior to
forming, and possibly a neck anneal after forming,
depending on how far it is necked down. Wall thickness
at the mouth of this brass is approximately .009", which
is the same as our 6.8 brass prior to forming (the walls
will get thicker when formed down, and the case will
also get longer). Length is approximately 1.720".
*Since this is a basic case, and Starline has no control
over how it is formed, we accept no liability and offer
no warranty in its use or your inability to properly
form cases. We also recommend keeping pressures within
SAAMI limits of the parent case. Since this case has not
been formed there may be more out-of-round mouths than
normal.
Calibers that this could possibly be formed into:
American .30 BHW, .30 HRT, 6.5x6.8, 6.8 GPC, etc.
6.8 SPC
(Small Rifle primer)
6.8mm Remington SPC, 6.8 Remington
The 6.8 SPC was designed for the military as a cartridge
that landed between the 5.56mm NATO and the 7.62mm NATO
to be used in the AR-15/M-4 platform. It loses very
little magazine capacity versus the 5.56mm (25 vs. 30
rounds), but has better knockdown power without much
more recoil.
This caliber works very well in short barreled rifles
and is an easy conversion for an AR-15, requiring only a
barrel, bolt, and magazine swap.
For someone looking for an AR-15 for hunting, this
caliber is a logical choice, especially for
recoil-sensitive shooters.
Our brass is safe to use in both 6.8 SPC and 6.8 SPC II
chambers.
6mm
Creedmoor (Large Rifle primer)
6 Creedmoor, 6 CM
The 6mm Creedmoor is the little brother to the very
popular 6.5 Creedmoor. It has similar ballistics to the
.243 Winchester, but its shorter length allows long,
heavy bullets to be seated in the magazine. This caliber
is an excellent choice for hunting, but its popularity
was gained as a competition cartridge. Some of the new
competitions, such as the Precision Rifle Series,
require a lot of shooting and this cartridge is easy on
the shoulder, even compared to the 6.5 Creedmoor. There
are several companies now making bolt action and AR-10
type rifles for this caliber.
For the Small Rifle Primer of this caliber, please see
our SR
6mm CM.
7.62x25
Tokarev Brass (Small Pistol primer)
7.62mm Tokarev, 7.62x25mm Russian Tokarev
This case is very similar, except for the difference in
length, to the .30 Mauser. Due to higher operating
pressures, if the .30 Mauser cases are fired with hotter
7.62x25 loads in the CZ-52, it will tear the neck off
some cases. 30 Mauser O.A.L. is .980" to .985" while
7.62x25 O.A.L. is .958" to .962". We recommend using
bullets of .308" diameter in our brass.
7.62x39mm Russian (Large Rifle primer)
The 7.62x39mm was developed in Russia as a mid-size
military cartridge and is among the most widespread
military cartridges used today. The AK47 and its
variants, along with the SKS, have made this cartridge
very popular in the civilian market due to the sheer
number of affordable surplus firearms available. This
caliber can also be had in AR-15 type rifles (requiring
only a different bolt, barrel and magazine), as well as
the Ruger Mini-30. Bolt action rifles are now available
from companies such as CZ, Ruger, and Howa.
This close-medium range caliber is suitable for varmints
and deer-size game when loaded with suitable
expanding-type bullets.
Our brass is sized for use with the standard .311"
diameter bullets, it will need to be neck sized if
used with .308" diameter bullets.
7mm-08
Remington (Large Rifle primer)
**7mm/.308, 7mm-08 Rem
While the 7mm-08 Remington was first commercially
manufactured in the early 80's, its roots can be traced
back to the late 50's as a popular wildcat cartridge.
This flat shooting, mild recoiling caliber has a devout
following of both hunters and competition shooters. The
wide selection of 7mm (.284") caliber bullets makes it
a very flexible cartridge. It is widely available in
both semi-auto and bolt action rifles as well as several
single-shots and a few pistols.
**As with all commercialized wildcat cartridges, minor
variations in Pre-SAAMI chambers may not headspace
properly, or may have clearance issues with SAAMI spec
brass.
9MM
Largo Brass (Small Pistol primer)
9x23 Lurgo, 9x23, 9mm Bayard, 9mm Mars, 9mm Astra, 9mm
Borgman, Bayard
The 9mm Largo is a 9x23 case designed for Largo gun
systems such as the Star, Astra, Destroyer Carbine, and
also works in most Steyrs.
9MM Luger
Brass (Small Pistol primer)
9mm brass, 9 Luger brass, 9mm Luger brass, 9mm Para
brass, 9x19 brass, 9x19 Luger brass, 9mm Parabellum
brass, 9mm Glisenti brass, 9mm pistol brass
9mm brass: also known as 9mm Parabellum, 9mm Luger and
9x19mm. This cartridge is now one of the most popular
pistol cartridges in the world. **NOT RECOMMENDED FOR
USE IN S&W SHIELD PISTOLS WITH NEAR-MAX OR +P LOADS, DUE
TO POORLY SUPPORTED CHAMBER CONDITION**
9MM
Makarov Brass (Small Pistol primer)
9 MAK, 9x18, 9x18 MAK, 9mm Russian Makarov
9MM Makarov, or 9X18mm, uses a .363" diameter bullet.
Used in the small Makarov surplus pistols that are
readily available now in the United States.
9MM
Steyr (Small Pistol primer)
The 9mm Steyr is an Austrian cartridge designed for use
in the Steyr M1912 pistol and was chambered in some
Steyr MP34 submachine guns. As with all Starline
products, our 9mm Steyr brass is made to tighter
tolerance than the CIP standard for this cartridge.
9MM Win
Mag Brass (Magnum Small Pistol primer)
9mm Winchester Magnum
Basically a lengthened 9mm Luger, the 9mm Winchester
Magnum was developed for use in the Wildey
semi-automatic handgun. This cartridge develops near
.357 Magnum performance but is generally used for making
9mm Luger blanks.
9MM+P
Brass (Small Pistol primer)
9mm + Power, 9mm + Pressure
9MM+P has no difference from the standard 9mm Luger
other than head stamp designation for load segregation.
Due to standard case design, it will handle +P pressures
with no problems. **NOT RECOMMENDED FOR USE IN S&W
SHIELD PISTOLS WITH NEAR-MAX OR +P LOADS, DUE TO POORLY
SUPPORTED CHAMBER CONDITIONS**
9X21
Brass (Small Pistol primer)
Designed for use in countries that banned the use of
handguns in military chambering, the 9x21mm required
only minor chamber reaming of firearms built for 9x19mm.
9x23
Comp Brass (Small Rifle or Small Pistol primer)
9 Super Comp, 9x23 Win, 9mm Super Comp
The 9mm Super Comp (9x23) is of a new design with a new
head stamp as of 7-7-03. We have changed the head stamp
to read 9x23 Comp to allow easier identification because
it looked too similar to the .38 Super Comp head stamp.
At the same time, we slightly changed the interior
design to allow the seating of heavier bullets (i.e. 147
grains) but change will in no way affect performance of
case for use with lighter bullets.
Grendel
Basic (Small Rifle primer)
Un-tapered (W/No caliber designation)
This brass is the same as our standard 6.5 Grendel brass
except that it has not been formed and has no caliber
designation on the head stamp. It should work for
most 6.5 Grendel and 7.62x39mm based wildcats. This
brass has not been annealed, and will require a body
anneal prior to forming, and possibly a neck anneal
after forming, depending on how far it is necked down.
Wall thickness at the mouth of this brass is
approximately .009", which is the same as our 6.5
Grendel brass prior to forming (the walls will get
thicker when formed down, and the case will also get
longer). Length is approximately 1.550"
*Since this is a basic case, and Starline has no control
over how it is formed, we accept no liability and offer
no warranty in its use or your inability to properly
form cases. Since this case has not been formed there
may be more out-of-round mouths than normal.
Our Grendel Basic case can be formed into 6.5 Grendel
and 7.62x39 based wildcats such as the .22-6.5 Grendel,
6mm Grendel, 243 LBC and 9x39mm.
SR
6.5CM (Small Rifle primer)
Small Primer 6.5 Creedmoor
This is our Small Rifle Primer version of the 6.5
Creedmoor. The 6.5 Creedmoor was designed as a target
caliber in 2007 by Hornady but has become an extremely
popular hunting caliber as well. While it isn't as long
as some of the other 6.5 caliber short action calibers,
such as the .260 Remington, the Creedmoor utilizes a 30°
shoulder and very little body taper to help it achieve
similar ballistics. The shorter length also gives it
more versatility as far as bullet seating depth is
concerned. Almost every major rifle manufacturer offers
either a bolt-action rifle or a modern sporting rifle in
6.5 Creedmoor caliber due to its versatility and
inherent accuracy.
Our SR6.5CM brass uses a Small Rifle Primer. Many target
shooters prefer the Small Primer for the increased
consistency and accuracy. While other small pocket
manufacturers use a smaller than standard flash hole,
Starline uses our standard .080" flash hole, as we feel
that it gives better ignition with some of the slower
powders and in cooler conditions* (and you won't be
breaking off de-capping pins either!) The Small Primer
version also maintains primer pocket size much better
than the large primer version under higher pressures.
For our Large Primer version please see our 6.5
Creedmoor case.
*As with all types of cases this large with small
primer pockets, it will require care in powder and
primer selection in cooler temperatures to prevent hang
fires. Single-based propellants are generally easier to
ignite and a quality primer such as the Remington 7 1/2
BR are recommended.
SR 6mm
CM (Small Rifle primer)
6mm Creedmoor Small pocket
The SR 6mm CM is our small rifle primer version of the
6mm Creedmoor. Just like our SR 6.5 CM, we utilize the
standard .080" flash hole diameter, as we feel this
gives better ignition with slower burning and hard to
ignite powders.*
The 6mm Creedmoor is the little brother to the very
popular 6.5 Creedmoor. It has similar ballistics to the
.243 Winchester, but its shorter length allows long,
heavy bullets to be seated in the magazine. This caliber
is an excellent choice for hunting, but its popularity
was gained as a competition cartridge. Some of the new
competitions, such as the Precision Rifle Series,
require a lot of shooting and this cartridge is easy on
the shoulder, even compared to the 6.5 Creedmoor. There
are several companies now making bolt action and AR-10
type rifles for this caliber.
For the Large Primer Pocket version, please see our 6mm
Creedmoor .
*As with all types of cases this large with small
primer pockets, it will require care in powder and
primer selection in cooler temperatures to prevent hang
fires. Single-based propellants are generally easier to
ignite and a quality primer such as the Remington 7 1/2
BR are recommended.
38-55
Brass (2.080") (Large Rifle primer)
38-55 Win, 38-55 Winchester, 38-55 Ballard
The .38-55 is the standard length of 2.080" which is the
same as Winchester case. Case mouth has thinner walls
(.0072" average thickness at mouth) than the Winchester
case allowing for use of the wide variety of bullet
diameters, especially in tight chamber/large bore
situations. Head stamp reads *-* .38-55.
45-70 Gov't Brass (Large Rifle primer)
45-70 Government Brass, 45-70 Marlin Brass, 45-70 Govt
Brass
Our .45-70 brass has been tested at elevated pressures
suitable for Magnum Heavy Hunting Loads in adequate gun
systems. When loading with black powder, annealing of
mouth may be necessary to allow case to properly seal
chamber due to lower pressures generated by these loads.
Our case is produced very strong to withstand high
pressure loads associated with smokeless hunting loads
and since the only way to make brass harder is to work
the material our only option is to leave them stiffer so
the customers can anneal for specific application.
45-90
Brass (.45-2.4) (Large Rifle primer)
45-82 Win, 45-85 Win,45-90 Win, 45-90 Winchester
This is a .45-70 based case that is 2.4 inches long and
is suitable for smokeless or black powder loads. When
loading with black powder, annealing of mouth may be
necessary to allow case to properly seal chamber due to
lower pressures generated by these loads. Our case is
produced very strong to withstand high pressure loads
associated with smokeless hunting loads and since the
only way to make brass harder is to work the material
our only option is to leave them stiffer so the
customers can anneal for specific application. See
annealing procedure in Commonly Asked Questions, section
#4.

Win Brass (Large Rifle primer)
50-100 Winchester, 50-105 Win, 50-110 Win
Originally designed for use with black powder, when

56-50
Spencer (Taylor's) Brass (Large Rifle primer)
The 56-50 Spencer (Taylor's) was built to C.I.P.
specifications for operation in the Taylor Arms 56-50
Spencer. Rim diameter is .629" to .632", which may be
too small to eject properly in some originals. Rim
thickness is .057" to .061". Thickness of wall at mouth
is .0125" average. Case mouth may need to be annealed if
not sealing properly with low pressure loads. Maximum
bullet seating depth is .375".
