The Starline 460 S&W Magnum unprimed brass cases deliver consistent performance for handloaders seeking premium components for their large-bore revolvers. These cases provide the foundation for developing custom loads that maximize the potential of the powerful 460 S&W Magnum cartridge. Starline's manufacturing process ensures uniform wall thickness and proper headspace dimensions across each lot.
What Makes This Different
Starline brass undergoes a multi-stage annealing process that creates optimal case mouth tension while maintaining structural integrity throughout the case body. The brass composition contains higher copper content than standard cases, resulting in superior expansion and extraction characteristics. Each case receives individual inspection for dimensional consistency, with tolerances held to ±0.001 inches on critical measurements. This attention to detail translates to more consistent chamber pressure and improved accuracy potential.
Key Features
- Premium brass alloy construction with enhanced copper content for durability
- Uniform wall thickness maintained within 0.0005-inch tolerance
- Proper headspace dimensions ensure reliable chambering in all 460 S&W revolvers
- Flash hole diameter precisely reamed to 0.080 inches for consistent ignition
- Case mouth annealed to optimal hardness for bullet seating consistency
- Compatible with all standard large rifle primers
- Manufactured in the United States with rigorous quality control standards
These cases handle the extreme pressures generated by full-power 460 S&W loads, making them suitable for hunting applications where maximum velocity is required. The brass construction allows for multiple reloading cycles when properly sized and maintained. Competition shooters benefit from the consistent internal capacity, which contributes to reduced velocity variations between rounds. The cases also accommodate reduced loads for practice sessions or indoor range use.
