I read about that, only offered in 9mm at the present... Sent them an email about any plans for a 45 Auto version, and how one goes about loading them on a Dillon... That was Monday, no answer as of yet...

Case lube on straight-wall cases is a deal killer for me.

Reinventing the wheel if ya ask me.
I can see it now, this catches on and people buy em by the thousands. Then QC starts to fall off. Next thing guns are blowing up because the case heads are getting ripped off through extraction, next round shoves remains of case into barrel... You can see just how little holds the head and case together.

Next thing I see is dissimilar metals( SS,brass and steel) causing electrolysis, causing cases to corrode to the barrel, mags. Not really a problem unless you live in high humidity or along the coast but it's possible.

I'll stick with brass until they perfect laser blasters!

I agree with Gunny.....interesting concept but......why is it even needed when brass is cheap and easily worked? "No trimming required?".....since 1972 I can't remember trimming any handgun brass except trimming down 44 Spl. to 44 Russian or others I've played with.

It's like they are fixing a problem that does not exist.

This will most likely end up the way aluminum Blazer cases have gone......some guys will use them to save money, how much money, dunno.....----6
