Got a few thousand with 1050/550 loading equipment I bought.
Can't find info on this, looked on their site also.  Edit to remove all caps from title. We don't shout at each other in this forum. dryflash3 |

A buddy gave me 100 Top Brass in .45ACP. They're in the rotation and seem just fine.
I actually like the primer pockets a lot. They're "semi-tight". Not S&B tight, but they do want a little more effort than some others. |

Black? Mine are standard brass. Your pics appear to be brass, but it could be my middle-aged eyes.

I've used my share of Top Brass with no issues or black.
Seems someone decided to use Birchwood Casey bluing to change the color. I assume there are a few chemicals to change the color of brass. |
