Shell caseing supplier

[GregMuller]

Can anyone recommand a shell caseing supplier. Gun stores in my area did not carry and reloading supplies. I was looking for new shells as many have posted that used are harder to work with.

I get mine from Midsouth Shooters Supply, MidwayUSA, Graf & Sons, and Cabelas. My local Wal-Mart also stocks some of the more popular calibers. I have not had any problems with used brass. Most of the ones that I make have been fired three to five times. I reload, so I prefer to use the brass until its at the end of its useful shooting life and then retire it as a pen []

If there is a gun and knife show in or near your area, there are always sellers for "bass" both new and used.
Make sure you know the kits you want to use and the dimensions that will fit them.
30-06 and 300 mags are good for 7 mm kits.
Once you start doing them you'll learn more about modifications.

Greg,

On the contrary, I have tried new brass and prefer spent. A new 300 winmag (and others too) is a few thousanths smaller where the nib end goes in. Once fired it is a perfect fit to the outer diamter of a slimline or streamline nib.

I'd also be interested in any write-up on how to make pens from shell casings - lots of hunters here in Montana.

I would also love some info on this topic of making pens with shell casings.
