Starline 38 Special Brass

Starline 38 Special Brass

Starline 38 Special Brass is new, unprimed cartridge brass manufactured for reloaders who want consistent case dimensions, dependable longevity, and repeatable performance across a wide range of .38 Special loads. Made in the USA by Starline, these cases are well suited to target ammunition, competition loads, general-purpose revolver ammunition, and other handloading applications.

Starline has built its reputation around high-quality straight-wall cartridge cases, and its .38 Special brass is produced with close attention to wall thickness, case capacity, and dimensional consistency. The cases are vertically drawn to help minimize variation through the case walls, supporting consistent bullet tension and repeatable loading from case to case.

Because this is new production brass rather than once-fired range brass, reloaders receive clean, uniform cases that are ready for normal case preparation and loading. Starline designs its brass for repeated use, with carefully controlled material and heat-treatment processes intended to provide a strong balance of hardness, ductility, and case life.

The .38 Special remains one of the most widely loaded revolver cartridges, with a broad range of bullets and published load data available for everything from light target ammunition to higher-pressure +P loads. Starline 38 Special brass provides a consistent foundation for reloaders assembling ammunition across that range.

New 38 Special Reloading Brass

Starting with new brass gives handloaders a uniform baseline without the unknown firing history, mixed headstamps, or varying case condition found in once-fired brass. Starline cases are produced as a consistent lot, making them particularly useful for reloaders who want tighter control over case preparation and load development.

Built for Multiple Reloading Cycles

Starline controls its drawing and heat-treatment processes to produce cases that balance strength with the ductility required for repeated sizing and firing. Proper case life will always depend on chamber dimensions, load pressure, sizing practices, and inspection, but Starline brass is widely chosen by high-volume reloaders specifically for its durability and consistency.

Note: Brass is sold unprimed. Always inspect, size, and prepare cases as appropriate before loading and follow published load data from a reputable reloading manual or component manufacturer.
