Starline 357 Remington Maximum Unprimed Brass Cases – 100 Bag

Description

The 357 Remington Maximum is one of those cartridges that lives and dies by the reloading bench, and Starline makes the brass that keeps it running. These are new, unprimed cases built specifically for the Rem Max, which is essentially a 357 Magnum case stretched roughly three tenths of an inch longer to hold bigger powder charges and push heavier bullets. If you shoot a Ruger Blackhawk, a Dan Wesson, a T/C Contender, or any of the single-shot rifles chambered for this round, loaded ammo is basically nonexistent, so quality brass like this is where every round starts.

What Sets Starline 357 Max Brass Apart

Starline runs a vertically drawn, annealed, and hand-inspected process at their plant in Sedalia, Missouri. That attention shows up at the bench. Handloaders consistently report these cases arrive clean with no dents or dinged mouths, and they hold up through repeated loading cycles without head expansion, case stretch, or loose primer pockets. For a cartridge that often gets pushed hard, that kind of durability matters.

Loading the 357 Remington Maximum

A couple of things to know before you get started. The Rem Max uses a small rifle primer, not a standard pistol primer, which is how the cartridge was designed from the factory to handle the slower powders and larger charges it was built around. Case length runs 1.590 to 1.600 inches. These cases generally do not need resizing before the first loading, though it is always smart to inspect each one and size to your seating depth. One important note: because of the internal taper of the case, 357 Maximum brass cannot be trimmed down to 357 Magnum length.

A Favorite for Wildcatters Too

Beyond straight Rem Max duty, this brass has a loyal following among folks who neck it down for custom chamberings in everything from .17 caliber on up through .30 caliber. It forms and fire-forms cleanly, and case life tends to beat expectations. Whether you are feeding a silhouette revolver, a Contender barrel, or a wildcat project, this is dependable brass to build on.
