Closer.

Thick... just like I like them.

Interesting. Any significant difference in case capacity? Tested the new coating yet?

Capacity stays not only the same but constant. Factory brass is all over the damn place. 5% +/- sometimes.

Tested coating 5 years ago. It's way better then FN's and also a gloss so it doesn't make new brass look like shit.

one step closer to being able to fill up the gun safe with EA agian...

Its been too long.

Nice Jay! Are you going to sell virgin brass to us reloaders? Or only for your production runs?

I will sell virgin, primed, or un-primed and coated to anyone.

:thumb: That's great news Jay! I already check in occasionally and have been using your case gauge and trimmer plate for my reloading. Would love to have virgin coated brass to do my reloads with, and will follow progress closely now

Is your coating also more durable than FNs? The FN coating isn't exactly known for life span.

Taken care of even the factory coating will last the life of the brass

But yes our caoting will last longer but just like the factory coating the neck and shoulder area of the
brass is still the area that will fail first.

Any guesses as to how long before we will be able to purchase any of your brass?

Target to have it in full production is November so shortly after that. Have to meet demand for our ammo before I can sell the brass.

? Never had a problem with the factory coating so long as it isn't left outside or in a rusty bucket full of commie steel.

When you finally have production running at capacity and your brass and bullets flying of of your production line, you are obligated to yell, "LET THE SPICE FLOW!"

Never understood why it never occurred to the Mentats to use straws.

I know you are excited to have your own brass in house. So if we get into another ammo crunch/shortage, will you be impacted as badly as the last go around? The market is just now recovering from it and still hasn't stabilized IMO. Also, what, if any, will be the impacts to your ammunition pricing?

No we won't even more so since my powder supply is keg directly from the manufacturer.

Yes not right away but within 6 months or so prices will come down as the volume sales go up.

Does this mean we are closer. Over thanksgiving weekend I went through almost 500 rounds letting family plink with the PS90. Now I am w ordering if I reload all that brass or wait for yours to become available!

It will still be a few months since I have to test the brass and I am sure issues will arise and manufacturing adjustments made.

Lookin' good. Any update on when?

You are coating these as well?

Mike

Better pic

Of course they will be coated and just like my brass is better and improved internally my coating is better than FNH's.

We are getting into weeks now.

GONRA is really anxious to purchase 1000 rds. of the EA brass when its available.
Is the "internal case volume" a little smaller than FN brass we're all used to?
If it is, will reduce my 2 Standard "True Blue" loads and verkup loading data for the New EA Brass.

In a recent coffee chat vid, I think he stated same capacity as normal 57 brass. I would also start to guess all the developed reload recipes will work... or is the dimensions being slightly different internally be an issue despite being the same capacity?

You need to drop since my brass is much more consistent, has a stronger neck and shoulder. Factory FNH brass easily vary 5% internally. The firm making the dies to be used on the machine cut up FNH brass for base line data. They where amazed at just how poor QC and consistency of the brass was lacking.

Weeks! And I just sold my PS90 :-( But still have my FsN!

Do you have an estimate yet on cost per 1000?

No not yet.

Looks good Jay, can't wait to check these out in person!

New toy has arrived.

Digital force gauge and stand to measure neck tension on our new brass to maintain quality control.

You just have all the cool toys.

Try this toy out.

Wow. That is at least a step or two above my Rockchucker.

It feels heavier duty than factory brass, and it's shiney.

It's very pointy. Without proper care and handling, one may shoot their eye out. :laugh:

How much longer do you think?

weeks

Just completed a round of shooting production test samples.

No primer, neck/shoulder or case failure during entire test and pressures were taken well above 65k psi.

Not even the beginning of a gold ring inside.

Leave it to you to overbuild something :laugh: :thumb:

(Note: I am NOT complaining. Overbuilding while staying within specs is a good thing)

How does your lacquer coating hold up after being fired?

Way the hell better than FN's.

That being said these cases where UN COATED maximise stress on the case.

Now that is worth its weight in gold.

Have there been any updates?

Bitchin! :thumb: :clap:

Looks awesome

And the new shop to go with it.

I like the updated pictures.. you can actually... see the place now.

Congrats Jay. This is big! :thumb: :clap:

I would have had the ammo today, if the fedex guy accepted the signature on my note as my signature

Coated brass will be up forsale on webpage today.

Looking atm. Do not see it. Has it been added yet?

It should be up any minute.

Brass is live now.

I'm going to assume your measurements listed are supposed to be for GRAINS of water instead of grams, given that a gram is a gram is a gram regardless of the substance it is being used to measure.

Crap Lisa mis understood me

Getting fixed

Assuming you are Kevin congrats you placed the first order

FYI Grant the re loading section of the forum moderator will be receiving brass from us so He can start creating load data to share on the forum for our new brass.
