The jury was still out, for me. I know Greg said he found it soft, and had contacted Starline about that. I didn't find mine particularly soft, but really didn't have more than one set of test loads using it. Then I started forming it into TAC 6 wildcat(kind of an Ackley Improve, with the shoulder bumped back for VLDs, at mag length), and only lost one case to shoulder crumple. It sure looks good once it is fireformed.
I have so many different flavors of 6.8 brass in my stash(SSA old and new, Nosler, R-P, S&B, Hornady, and Starline), but since the first batches of SSA went away, this is the first time I have been optimistic about a good source of 6.8 brass. To be fair, I did pick up a batch of S&B brass, and at first look, also looks promising. But in general I am a big fan of Starline brass. I get it for all of my pistol cartridges, and for the 458 SOCOM. It has yet to disappoint, in those cases. It is particularly impressive in my nuclear powered 10mm loads.
