Still more than starline direct.   I guess if you wanted less than 1K cases.

That's 24 cents per case. Starline direct is 16-19 cents per case, depending on quantity, shipping included. If you are an avid loader/shooter, it adds up very quick.

is PPU safe for reloading? I asking because of prior posts  about loaded ammunition  having numerous  case failures.

There have been some issues with the PPU brass, poor quality and not very malleable (didn't hold it resized dimensions and bullet setback) this may have be what lead to the problems.   ???

This has been my experience, as well. The .380's are OK (marginally), but any larger and they aren't worth messing with. They go straight to scrap. There are some really good Eastern brass available. PPU isn't one of them, IMO.

I see now their Armscor brass is out of stock. I have a few of them from a brass swap I made. I haven't reloaded any of them yet.
Some people think I'm paranoid because I have so many guns. With all my guns, what do I have to be paranoid about?

thank you for the input because I found some PPU brass for 17.00$ on ammo seek and after reading everyone's posts decided against it,has anyone had any experience with Winchester  or Hornady ?if what seperate their brass from Starline 10mm?Is it better ,stronger ?

Winchester is good except it tarnishes quickly.  Hornady is good to go, but you may see some split over time.

I don't know about their virgin brass. Perhaps it's different, or at least good for one loading.

Iam not willing to take that chance ,I load pretty warm and the last thing I want to worry about is if the brass is up to par

Not when known-quality brass is readily available.

I just got 100 10mm cases of Jagemann brass from Reloading Unlimited. Never saw this brass before, but always willing to try it.
