Rifle Brass

Rifle brass is the reloadable case that holds your primer, powder, and bullet, and choosing it comes down to the exact cartridge you shoot and the quality you need. Graf & Sons covers popular calibers such as 223 Remington, 308 Winchester, and 6.5 Creedmoor, and specializes in hard-to-find and obsolete cartridges like 25-20 Winchester, 30-40 Krag, and 22 ARC. Choose new unprimed brass for consistent results or once-fired brass to save money, and always match the case to the exact cartridge stamped on your barrel. Shop manufacturers including Starline, Peterson Cartridge, and Prvi Partizan, then complete your load with rifle bullets, primers, and smokeless powder.

How to choose rifle brass for reloading

Brass is cartridge specific, so start with the cartridge stamped on your barrel. A case made for one cartridge will not safely substitute for another, even when the two look alike.

Match the cartridge and capacity

Military brass often has less internal capacity than commercial brass, so published load data can differ between the two. Premium manufacturers such as Peterson offer precision cases for popular and wildcat cartridges alike, including Peterson 7mm BR Remington brass.

Choose new, once-fired, or range brass

  • New unprimed brass gives the most consistent starting point for hunting and precision loads.
  • Once-fired brass costs less but needs cleaning, inspection, and sorting by headstamp.
  • Mixed headstamps vary in capacity, so sort cases before loading for accuracy.

Check the details

Confirm the primer pocket size, small or large, so your primers fit. Plan to trim cases to length as they stretch, using case prep tools, and consider annealing necks for long brass life.

Common uses

Hunters usually start with new brass for the first reload and keep each batch together for consistent results. Long-range shooters sort and prep cases for uniformity, weighing and measuring them before loading. High-volume plinkers lean on once-fired brass for cost, accepting a little more variation in return for savings.

Frequently asked questions

How many times can I reload rifle brass?

It depends on the cartridge, pressure, and how you resize. Inspect every case for neck cracks, stretch marks near the base, and loose primer pockets, and retire any case that shows them.

What does unprimed brass mean?

Unprimed brass has no primer installed, so you choose and seat your own.

Do you carry brass for obsolete cartridges?

Yes. Graf & Sons specializes in hard-to-find calibers such as 25-20 Winchester and 30-40 Krag. If you are weighing two classic 22 Caliber (.224" Diameter) cartridges, our 220 Swift vs 22-250 Remington guide compares them.
