445 Brass
« on: December 02, 2003, 03:27:42 PM »
I recently ran across a box of 50 cases, headstamped 445 Gates. As they are new and unfired I was wondering if there was any value to them over the Starline brass.  [/u][/i][/b]

445 Brass

I have a bunch of the PMC 445 brass with the Gates headstamp.  It was improperly tempered and will stick in the chambers badly, even with the lightest loads.  I contacted the DW factory and they told me they had the same problem with it and recommended I switch to Starline.
