Thanks for sharing that, that was an interesting read for sure. I had no idea it took that many steps to make a case. I guess I won't be making any cases in my basement any time soon!

Thanks for that. I'm amazed they can maintain such consistency by basically squirting metal through a die. I kind of want to order some Peterson .308 brass and try it now.

Thanks for sharing. There is definitely a lot involved in making brass cartridge cases. No wonder they are expensive. That's why I try to save what I can if they don't get lost in the woods.

Thanks for posting that! I love seeing how things are made. Although I've seen many videos of case manufacture, having the detailed description of the steps was a real treat!
