    Shell Shock technology pistol cal and rifle cases

    Looks like a bit of an innovation in ammunition. Alloy base and nickel alloy/stainless steel 2 piece cartridge cases.

    Can pick up with a magnet which is a big plus in my book. Hate loosing brass at matches and training.

    Cheaper than brass and by all accounts lasts longer. Reports of 40 loads per case!!!
    Handles higher than +P pressures
    Pretty sure they only have the girls cal available now but looking at producing a few manly pistol calibers and 223, 308 in rifle.

    Can't find any negative press on them yet.
    Hopefully we can get some to try soon.

    Cheaper than brass in USA but about 3x the price here. I was going to buy 10k of it but got a bucket of brass for dirt cheap so didn't bother. Have a few club members running it, wouldn't buy it just for the magnetism because it's pretty weak

    Yeah you have to use their dies, they have a spring that pushes the case off, otherwise they pull bases off

    I was told by someone using them he just uses Wilson carbide dies.
    I have never tried loading them so don't know from experience. I will wait till they come out in 40s&w before I get too interested. I would probably buy their dies to be safe if I think they are the go.
