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 would be curious to compare the 2& see what differences there will be

Hoser 10-14-2010 04:12 PM
And the official word is that my brass works 100% in the 300 AAC Blackout Chamber.

Hoser, what dies were you using to form this brass?

Hoser 10-30-2010 02:12 PM
Just shipped another batch of 3,500.

Lots left.

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

Hoser 11-11-2010 01:19 PM
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 11-11-2010 04:12 PM
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.

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 11-12-2010 03:21 PM
Thanks for the reply. I'm thinking about the JDK annealer.

Might be ok for small batches.

I have looked at this one and almost pulled the trigger on getting one several times.

That's the one I've been eye-balling as well.

10,000 pcs and one sore elbow. Not tennis elbow, but maybe Whisper Elbow or Dillon 1050 Elbow.

There is a loaded 50 BMG round on top just to give you an idea of how big that plastic bin is.

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

SDB777 11-14-2010 09:40 PM
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!
Scott

How about I just send you a handfull of brass for you to try? If it doesnt work, pitch it. If it works, you know where to find me.

I think I also have a couple hundred pcs formed from virgin 221 here somewhere...

PM sent.

SSK 300 Whisper barrels
 
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 11-21-2010 07:59 AM
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 11-23-2010 05:54 PM
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.

Hoser 12-04-2010 02:03 AM
I am going to be out of touch doing military stuff for a while.

Please bear with me while I try to put of the fires in Israel. No, really.

I would certainly do it if I did not have so much brass already.

thank you for your service to our country& for helping our allies & expats in Israel.

I am back. Thanks for the wishes guys. Turned out I was home for Christmas. Well, I was in town anyway. I was at the squadron helping getting people shipped out.

AMC = Air Mobility Command or Always Miss Christmas...

Seeing as how I was working Christmas day, I took yesterday off to shoot some 600-1100 yard steel with two of my more quiet toys.

Back at you.

I got mine!
 
I just got my 199 pieces of ancient 5.56 military brass back from reworking with Hoser.

Great job, great price, and incredible turnaround (and they sure look purdy, too!).

I'd highly recommend his services to anyone with .223 or 5.56 brass hanging around, that shoots our round-with-many-names.

-K9 Handler

Hoser 01-16-2011 06:32 PM
Mixed headstamp avail again. I only have about 5,500 pcs as of right now.

Lots of Lake City avail.

Hoser 01-23-2011 07:48 PM
Just to bring some important info to the top...

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.

What if we dont have brass to send you? (My ammo is still loaded) Is there a core charge like car parts?:confused:

I have lots and lots of brass on hand and ready to ship. Maybe 13-15K as of tonight.

Hoser 01-26-2011 11:21 PM
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...
