All good brass.
I just recently loaded and fired several hundred 44 magnum rounds out of Starline and Magtech brass. Don't know who makes the Magtech.
Only issue I had was 2 (out of 250) cases of the Starline had dings on the mouth that made me work a little bit.

Re: Really!. I was just looking for reloading supplies!!
I have had a M&P 45 and still have M&P 2.0s in 9mm and .40.
My only 10mm is a Kimber.....
I have 6 or 7 or 8 Glocks so wasn't really wanting another.
Another M&P sounds dandy.

A good candidate be rebored to .35 Whelen. They are notorious for the barrel not being level with the receiver. The sights are on the barrel, so they shoot fine with iron sights.
