S&B 9mm Brass is steel

[rstandley]

Because we have so many new reloaders out their, Please be aware that S&B 9mm brass is brass plated steel. The stuff is hell on your dies and almost imposable to push a primer into. Just run a magnet thru you bucket of brass and they will stick. I do not reload this stuff.

CAUTION!......be careful running magnets through your brass because magnetized brass will throw off the rotation of your bullet and glock does not recommend shooting rounds with extra magnetic force. It is a +P+M designation.

Some...S&B brass is really really high quality stuff. They do make steel plinking ammo also.

But yeah - anything not made of brass is a big no-no for standard reloading dies.

I just ran a super strong magnet across some loaded S&Bs and it wouldnt stick to them. I think mine are pure brass.

S&B "Range Safe" ammo is steel cased but nice and shiney like brass. So beware if you pick any up off the ground expecting to reload.
