357 Magnum Cases
Greetings,
I put my hand on boxed primed 357 Magnum cases with the following markings on the bottom: 357 Magnum nny (Cirrylic characters pi-pi-upsilon) My question is simple : Are they good? Another question not related: I am tumbling my cases with corn cobs and no shining agent. The cases are not very shiny but they are quite clean. Is it acceptable? Thank you

Can't answer the who makes the cases, but no a real shiny finish is not absolutely necessary for a cleaned case. (But they sure do look better) Come on ya cheapskate. A couple of pennies worth of polish won't break the bank.

The 357 brass is PPU (Prvi Partisan), a Serbian ammo maker in Yugoslavia. It's OK.
I had problems with PPU brass in 9mm, wrong primer pocket size. But not with their 357s - they seem to be as good as any other make. Never mind the appearance of the brass after tumbling, if it's clean it's good to use. LT |

Never worked with their .357 brass,
But Prvi's 7.5x55 is good stuff.
To be honest, in thousands of rounds, I've never noticed any difference in any .38/.357 brass I've used. For pistol rounds, it's smorgasbrass for me. When I start working up hunting loads for my Marlin carbine, those will all go in new, top-quality brass, but that's just a conceit. I have no doubt that it will make no difference. --Shannon |
