Brass Services / For Sale

[Hoser]

I have had a few people asking me about me making 300/221/Whisper/Blackout brass as I have a Dillon 1050 all set up for it.

I can and am willing to do it.

Please keep in mind that there are many flavors of the 300 Whisper/Blackout out there. I do all the heavy lifting for you, I trim it to 1.355 and take care of the primer pocket crimp. With some chambers you can just add a primer, powder, bullet and you are good to go. Other chambers you might have to run the brass through a full length resize die. I strongly recommend doing it anyway, but that is just me. I even full length resize all brass, virgin or not. I would rather ship brass that needs the shoulder pushed back a couple thousandths than send you overworked brass that will cause headspace issues and short brass life.

If you send me your once fired and cleaned 223 brass, I will deprime it, swage out any primer crimp, cut it back to 1.355 and tumble it 100% clean again. You get your brass back.

.10 each

If you want me to touch up the neck on a Giruad trimmer, it will cut a slight VLD type chamfer and completely deburr the case. This is not needed as the Dillon run at 4,000 rpm and cuts really clean, but it leaves a square edge. The Giruad will make it perfect. If you want it run through the Giruad, add .04 each. Depending on how much brass I have to process, I should be able to turn your brass in around 5-7 days.

I can also anneal brass on my Giraud annealer. Annealing is one of those cant hurt might help kind of things. Add .02 each.

I will ship it back via USPS flat rate with signature confirmation.

Sorry it took me so long to get the loads up and get out to the range (this is about the brass you sold me back in October), but I was out last night and that brass you made is amazing! I got my narrowest spread on velocity from any round I've loaded for any firearm.

12fps across 10 rounds with your brass, CCI BR-4 primers, 8.50gr H110, and 240gr SMK's. I didn't believe the spread after 5 (10fps spread), so loaded and shot a second 5 at the range and the total spread was 12fps for all 10. Downrange accuracy was similarly fantastic. I was only shooting at 50 yards (just doing chrono testing), but they were going in one hole.

I have clearly found the subsonic load for my AR.

Thanks again for the offer, the great price, and the fantastic brass!

Did you make a custom trim die?

[Hoser]

Did you make a custom trim die?

Nope. I machined a bunch off a spare 1050 toolhead to allow use of a CH4D trim die and a shop vac.

[jacack]

Just wanted to give some feedback, I sent 200pcs of Lake City to Hoser, I got my brass back in less than a weeks time from when he recived it and it looks great, I checked a few and they are all perfect, clean, cut square and all the same lenght. He should charge more as the shipping for him to return the brass to me was $5 and change and he only charged me 20.00 for 200pcs anyone that doesnt give this guy some business must love brass work( personaly I would rather be shooting) again i highly recomend his services and will use him again and hope some of you do too.

Hoser, are you one with a video up on youtube showing your process?

Thats not me, but mine looks just like it. I just dont have a motor hooked up to my machine.

The motor (PW power load) I have is on another 1050 and I use it for loading ammo.

And for those looking for completed brass, I do have some once fired Lake City.

[sten668]

Great job on the 500 rounds you processed for me, now I have to find the time to load them. I didn't know that you would turn them around so fast.
Thanks again

[coldbeerchief]

How much to process NEW brass?

i.e. no need to decap, swage, etc.

[Hoser]

How much to process NEW brass?

i.e. no need to decap, swage, etc.

I will not work on new or processed brass. The work/time involved is easily triple that of once fired. The reason being that the trim die I use relies on the case walls grabbing on the the die so when the cutter blade come down the case stays put and the blade does not spin the case in the die. If that happens, things get ugly in a hurry.

I did 500 pieces of virgin Lapua brass for my bolt gun. Ended up hacking the tops off the cases with a trim die/hack saw on my rockchucker then running them through my 1050.

No discount for de-primed or processed brass as it all still has to go through my machine and inspected by me after. In fact I am not willing to work on processed brass.

Im not getting rich off this, just trying to help people out.

[dvanncvann]

400 pieces came back today. I wont be making any more 300 whisper brass as long as Hoser is doing his thing!

[joesig]

I took advantage of Hoser's post on 6/3. Without a doubt it was a first rate transaction. Prompt response to emails, fast shipping and the brass looks great at an even better price. A credit to the shooting community.

Thanks again!

How do I order brass from Hoser?

[dvanncvann]

contact him via IM or email from this board.

[Hoser]

How do I order brass from Hoser?

I sent you a PM.

[Hoser]

When you send me brass, please make sure you do the following.

1. Make sure it is clean.
2. No Berdan primers oe steel cases.
3. It has *NOT* been resized or processed.
4. Enclose a note telling me how to provide you a tracking number.
5. Let me know ahead of time that I have brass headed my way.

Dillon Trimmer Dies are also a resize die. If the case has already been resized, things go downhill in a hurry.

I have done a lot of brass since I first offered this up, and dont want to make this a chore. If it becomes one, I will stop doing it.

Thanks guys.

[mak91]

++1 for Hoser's brass services. I got some of his once fired LC brass. They function in all three of my barrels without issue. Brass looks great and with his fast turn a round it sure beats me forming these myself. Hoser, PM sent for more.

Some brass on hand. Mixed headstamp.

My brass arrived today. A big +1 for Hoser.

Just got my hands on some of Hosers brass , nicest Whisper brass I've ever laid eyes on.... and I've seen a bunch of the stuff. Bravo Hoser! :grin:

[Wsinnett]

Hoser,
I want to thank you for the great job you did making my whisper brass..
You were fast, honest and a great value.. when i bought my whisper that was the very thing I needed.. I want to thank you for the 3000 perfect rounds you made for me.. please keep me posted if you are moving or change your email... you are a blessing... also, I took a huge buck with the 300 subsonic bullet.. you did great... thanks, Bill Sinnett Blythewood SC

Dillon Trimmer Dies are also a resize die. If the case has already been resized, things go downhill in a hurry.

Just to make sure everyone is 100% clear.

Sized/processed brass will not work. The trimmer die I use needs to be able to hold on to the case while the trimmer blade does the work. If the case has been resized, the case just spins inside the die. If the cutter grabs on and tears off a big chunk of brass and locks things up, it will destroy a $250 Dillon trimmer motor.

I also need a way to contact you. Please put a note of some sort in the box...

As soon as I get my 300 Blackout go and no-go gauges from Dave, I will start offering 300 Blackout brass made from 5.56/223 brass as well 300 Whisper made from 5.56/223.

Trimmed to 1.355 and primer crimp removed as well.

I bought five hundred a few months ago. The brass works great in my Encore and a Buddy's CZ.

[Hoser]

Slugging my way through a 10,000 piece order right now. I will post pics when I am done.

Sometimes I do special order work...

A buddy of mine that shoots a 300/221 rimmed in IHMSA matches ask me to make him a few hundred cases. I ordered up some 357 Max brass and got to work making chips. 30 minutes later the brass was formed. I annealed the necks for him and sent it off. He got it last week, loaded it up and shot an 80x80 (thats a perfect score *twice* for you non silhouette types) that next day.

[TCCrewchief76]

Sorry for the HiJack, but what are you using for annealing? I have several thousand to do, and the thought of holding cases and/or a propane bottle just makes me not want to do it.

Kevin

[Hoser]

but what are you using for annealing?

I am using a Giraud annealer.

I pretty much anneal all my bolt gun ammo every reload now days cause the Giraud annealer makes it so easy.

[TCCrewchief76]

Thanks for the reply. I'm thinking about the JDK annealer.

That is a lot of brass, I have been doing mine in 200 - 300 lots.

[SDB777]

Question:

Would your brass work in an actual SSK chamber?
(Being that the case used for that chamber is a necked up 221, it would more then likely have a thinner neck...)

Reason I ask, I have an older Contender barrel from SSK. And I'm growing tired of looking for 221 brass everytime I need more.
Also, I am receiving a T/C Encore factory barrel....so I will be contacting you on payday for a batch.



Thanks!

[martineta]

I have both a Thompson Encore barrel and a SSK barrel that I bought new a month ago. Hoser's brass works like a charm in both!

[smcharchan]

I just had Hoser convert 1k pieces of brass for me. The service was fast and the brass is very nice. I will send him more and recommend him to anyone looking to convert their brass.

[Hoser]

Just a quick side note.

You can take the brass right out of the box I send it in and load it up. However I do recommend running them through a FL length resize die and maybe a quick twist with a deburr/chamfer tool. It is one of those cant hurt, might help things.

I hope everyone has a good Thanksgiving.

Just to bring some important info to the top...


When you send me brass, please make sure you do the following.

1. Make sure it is clean.
2. No Berdan primers or steel cases.
3. It has *NOT* been resized or processed.
4. Enclose a note in the box telling me how to provide you a tracking number.
5. Let me know ahead of time that I have brass headed my way.

Sized/processed brass will not work. The trimmer die I use needs to be able to hold on to the case while the trimmer blade does the work. If the case has been resized, the case just spins inside the die. If the cutter grabs on and tears off a big chunk of brass and locks things up, it will destroy a $250 Dillon trimmer motor.

I also need a way to contact you. Please put a note of some sort in the box...

More than a few times this past month I have just got boxes of brass with a money order inside. I have no idea how to get you a tracking number or even let you know I received your shipment.

I have also had people send me resized brass. it wont work and does not save me any time or you any $$$. My machine de-primes, swages out the primer crimp, resizes and trims all in one step.

[Hoser]

Learned a very important lesson tonight.

The 300 Whisper/Blackout is a very short case.

I did 1,000 pcs of brass for a customer and when he went to load them he ran into some issues.

When he ran them into his Forester resize die he was tearing the necks completely off. Not good.

I tried to figure out why, but was stumped. All the brass gauged good before I shipped it.

After some stressing and fretting, I figured it out.

If you have the expander ball adjusted too high it can end up in the neck portion of the die. Now you have the die trying to squish the neck down and the ball trying to expand it out. The poor case gets stuck in the middle.

Just a public service announcement...

Hoser,

No need to sort it. Just send me what you have. If there is a primer crimp, my machine gets rid of it. If there isn't, well it doesn't...

[Mike Bell]

What about nickel plated brass? I have a few in the mix....but I can get em out if needed.

It's still plenty dry and very windy around here in North Texas. We definitely appreciate you guys in the C130s - wouldn't surprise me if you end up back here before too long. Unless we get some serious rain in the right places pretty quick it's going to be a very long summer.

[skippy]

Got my order in the other day...nothing but good to say!! Was without a doubt, the easiest, fastest, mail order transaction I have ever done! I sure won't be making them one-at-a time anymore!

[scorge30]

At present I have only one .300 Whisper - an Encore SS 12" T/C Custom Shop barrel that the previous owner ordered in .30 Herrett. I sent it to Mike Bellm in Grants Pass OR, who reamed it out to .300 Whisp-R improved.

Since my barrel already had the rim cut for its original cartridge based on the .30-30 Winchester, I have the option of using either .221 Fireball or .357 Rem Maximum brass to make .300 Whisp-R improved.

I have been making them one at a time but it is slow. Mike Bellm recommends annealing the cases prior to resizing or they will split. Using .357 Rem Max brass does give a insignificant increase in case capacity but with sharper shoulders.

http://www.bellmtcs.com/store/index.php?cid=570

My dies are from CH4D and are marked .300 Bellm - Whisper.

http://www.ch4d.com/

Can I send .357 Rem Max brass and have it treated the same way as the other brass?

[Hoser]

Still trimming your brass and I also have lots on hand and ready to ship.

I ran into this very issue last week, pulled the neck right off, oh well into the scrap bucket so I an use it when I try some brass casting :grin:

Are you back home& still making chips Hoser? current prices?

Edit to add, you mentioned you had to sort out a bunch of Military blanks, is that brass useable if you were to use a trim die& saw, or is the brass substandard otherwise?

I have spent most of this summer in Texas and NM working the wild fires. I should be home soon and can start shipping brass again.

Blanks dont work well at all. I just recycle them.

Back in town and getting my head above water.

Seems as though the work around the squadron and range piled up while I was gone. The end of playing catch up is close. Despite the snow and honey do list, I got some range time in yesterday and my OBR rebarreled to 260.

I am also proud to announce that I am also a Sponsor of the 2011 Thunderbeast Team Challenge. Just like the 2011 Steel Safari, you will find lots of my brass on the prize table.

Latest batch of brass is in the tumblers getting a final polish.

Please keep in mind that there are many flavors of the 300 Whisper/Blackout out there. I do all the heavy lifting for you, I trim it to 1.355 and take care of the primer pocket crimp. With some chambers you can just add a primer, powder, bullet and you are good to go. Other chambers you might have to run the brass through a full length resize die. I strongly recommend doing it anyway, but that is just me. I even full length resize all brass, virgin or not. I would rather ship brass that needs the shoulder pushed back a couple thousandths than send you overworked brass that will cause headspace issues and short brass life.

Just finished up another bunch of 300 Whisper Rimmed (parent case, 357 max) brass for a friend.

Please send me a PM or an email before you send me any 223/5.56 brass to process so I have a way to contact you.

Hoser makes fantastic brass for a great price! But as he said, when it gets to the end user it still might need some finish work.

I discovered that the Lake City brass that I purchased from him is just a little too thick in the neck for my 247gr NOE cast bullet. The bolt on my AR15 does not want to close when the round is chambered. I'll probably need to run an inside neck reamer in a few to get them to work properly.

No fault of Hoser's, whom I will purchase from again in the future, just passing along the information.

If you think that you might have a tighter chamber, let me know and I can send out a sample of my brass to make sure it works.

I got 500 rounds of brass a few months ago, worked great. Will be ordering some more soon, especially good deal at the new lower prices.

Got done shooting the Thunderbeast Team Challenge this weekend in Logan NM. One heck of a good time. This might be the toughest match I have ever shot.

I almost used my 20 inch 300 WTF upper but went back to the LaRue OBR Lite in 223 with a Loopy 1-8 at the last minute when I heard there might be carbine targets past 500 yards. The longest shot for me was just under 600 yards, and I had to shoot it off sticks...

The night stages were a pressure cooker with minimal shots and lots of points on the line.

There was lots of my brass on the prize table as there will be again next year.

Thanks to all the match staff, match sponsors and shooters.

[snipecatcher]

Looks like fun! Thanks for supporting the shooting sports with your brass. I'm still working on losing the last batch I bought from you. It may be a few more months.

[Hoser]

Back in town and making chips...

[Hoser]

Just got done with another batch of brass. Let me know if you need more.

Still turning your 223 brass into 300 Whisper/Blackout brass. Under a 2-3 day turn time.

[Hoser]

Just a heads up.

204 Ruger brass does not make good 300 WTF brass.

I had a guy send me 500 pcs for conversion. The brass is way too thick in the newly formed neck area.

Time to back downstairs and play with my new Giraud annealer.

[sha-ul]

Glad to see you are still around, I figured you were quite busy around Colorado Springs.& I got a bit worried when one of the aerial tankers went down.

Still here. I was on MAFFS 2 working a different fire at the time.

Services are next week in Charlotte. A bunch of us from Peterson AFB are going.

My Condolences to the Friends& families that are grieving.

[Hoser]

Those of you that went to the Steel Safari, Thunderbeast Team Challenge, Snipers Hide Cup or the 2012 Colorado State 3-Gun Championship saw lots of my brass on the prize table.

I am still making brass and still converting your brass.

Brass conversion is .10 each.

[rumlover]

Hoser, are you annealing your brass?

[Hoser]

I did some of my bolt gun Lapua brass, but I dont think it is really worth it or needed.

For my semi auto brass the primer pockets give out long before the necks split.

I have had some people ask me do it on my Giraud annealer and they were/are happy with the results.

[Hoser]

Knocked out a bunch of brass this weekend.

I must have three to four 20mm ammo cans full of the stuff.

[Hoser]

Lots of brass on hand and ready to ship.

[Hoser]

Those of you attending the Thunderbeast Team Challenge next weekend in Logan NM will find lots of 300 Whisper/Blackout brass on the prize table. I also support many other Regional and National level matches with my brass.

Just my way of giving back to the sport.

Hope to see some of you there.

[sha-ul]

Where's that like button when you need it?

[Hoser]

I have the weekend off and am going to fire the 1050 back up and get ahead on inventory.

$100 shipped per 500.
$190 shipped per 1000.

Those prices include shipping.

[al redneck]

Just received 1,000 pcs from Hoser . Like everyone says - I'm pleased . Brass nicely tumbled, brass is in good shape, trim length is uniform . He even sent some extra pcs of brass . He also shipped out the brass very quickly . Thanks Hoser !

Glad you got it safe and sound.

You got my last bit of Lake City.

I always toss an extra handful of brass in there just in case a skunky case or two made it through the inspection process.

[ohnomrbillk]

Do you have any brass for sale?
