It will still be a few months since I have to test the brass and I am sure issues will arise and manufacturing adjustments made.

Lookin' good. Any update on when?

You are coating these as well?

Mike

Better pic

Of course they will be coated and just like my brass is better and improved internally my coating is better than FNH's.

We are getting into weeks now.

GONRA is really anxious to purchase 1000 rds. of the EA brass when its available.
Is the "internal case volume" a little smaller than FN brass we're all used to?
If it is, will reduce my 2 Standard "True Blue" loads and verkup loading data for the New EA Brass.

In a recent coffee chat vid, I think he stated same capacity as normal 57 brass. I would also start to guess all the developed reload recipes will work... or is the dimensions being slightly different internally be an issue despite being the same capacity?

You need to drop since my brass is much more consistent, has a stronger neck and shoulder. Factory FNH brass easily vary 5% internally. The firm making the dies to be used on the machine cut up FNH brass for base line data. They where amazed at just how poor QC and consistency of the brass was lacking.

Weeks! And I just sold my PS90 :-( But still have my FsN!

Do you have an estimate yet on cost per 1000?

No not yet.

Looks good Jay, can't wait to check these out in person!

New toy has arrived.

Digital force gauge and stand to measure neck tension on our new brass to maintain quality control.

You just have all the cool toys.

Try this toy out.

Wow. That is at least a step or two above my Rockchucker.

It feels heavier duty than factory brass, and it's shiney.

It's very pointy. Without proper care and handling, one may shoot their eye out. :laugh:

How much longer do you think?

weeks

Just completed a round of shooting production test samples.

No primer, neck/shoulder or case failure during entire test and pressures were taken well above 65k psi.

Not even the beginning of a gold ring inside.

Leave it to you to overbuild something :laugh: :thumb:

(Note: I am NOT complaining. Overbuilding while staying within specs is a good thing)

How does your lacquer coating hold up after being fired?

Way the hell better than FN's.

That being said these cases where UN COATED maximise stress on the case.

Now that is worth its weight in gold.

Congrats Jay. This is big! :thumb: :clap:

I would have had the ammo today, if the fedex guy accepted the signature on my note as my signature

Looking atm. Do not see it. Has it been added yet?

It should be up any minute.

Brass is live now.

I'm going to assume your measurements listed are supposed to be for GRAINS of water instead of grams, given that a gram is a gram is a gram regardless of the substance it is being used to measure.

Crap Lisa mis understood me

Getting fixed

Assuming you are Kevin congrats you placed the first order

FYI Grant the re loading section of the forum moderator will be receiving brass from us so He can start creating load data to share on the forum for our new brass.

Have you submitted any for SAAMI specs yet?

Way too soon
