Top Brass Reloading Supplies

For people who are looking for 1x brass, STAY FAR AWAY from Top Brass Reloading Supplies. I recently purchase 1000 1x cases from them thinking it was a good deal. It was not. The pic they have posted shows decent pics of 5.7 brass slightly dirty and says "as is". They clean and polish all of their other brass but not these do to the lacquer they claim. I now have 1000 1x cases that have the lacquer severely compromised from sitting in what appeared to be a rusty bucket of water. The rust has eaten through the lacquer. I tried running different batches of them through both a sonic cleaner and corn cob media in a tumbler to try and clean them up. Once the rust and dirt was was removed I could see pitting in the lacquer on some and almost no lacquer on others. I have bought "As Is" range brass before and have never seen brass this bad. When talking to the company they were very point blank in stating that "as is" means just that.

They have contacted me in the past. They sent samples of what they called nice samples brass. They where crap so I did nothing with them.

I've gotten ready to prime 223 brass from them that has been great. But then 223 brass is a lot easier to care for.
