Starline does have "basic" brass with unformed neck available.

so what you need forming dyes to make it usable?   


I would like to get about 5k cases so i will have something to do for the next month or so.  while i wait for slab to cure.   trying hard not to work right now.

I am actually looking for 556 brass.  That is also double the price from starline.

A month?  What are you pouring?

  Mike this is his own. doing it RIGHT is more important than fast. 
That's how long it takes for concrete to properly cure .

Ten days will give you a 70% cure and load ready.  Watch road builders, they are driving their trucks and equipment on the fresh before two weeks.  I understand taking your time, and that is all fine and dandy, but I always find that that is what stretches a 12 month project into a 18, 24, or more month endurance trek.

We used to set houses down on seven day laid or poured all the time with no issues.

Slab for a steal building.  The slab would be fine in 2 weeks, the 4' x10' deep footers not so much.   Min 28 days, 6 weeks would be better.
