CBC Brass in .357 Magnum---

Prince55 · April 9, 2008, 05:54 AM

I was out to the range recently and found a few empty cases on the ground
that were stamped CBC on the headstamp.
Anyone ever heard of it or used them ?

Thanks

You will see the CBC head stamp in MagTech ammo. It reloads fine for me. http://www.magtechammunition.com/

Jim,

CBC is decent brass for the .357. It reloads better than S&B, which has primer pockets that are too tight.

CBC is the headstamp for MagTech. I've used it in several calibers including .357 Magnum, it seems to work just fine. No complaints.

yeah, CBC is magtech brass. It reloads ok, but I have found that depending on the loads you get a some what shorter life than if you were using win, FED, etc..
