Ammo question

Post by PRicanHeRo » Sat Jan 05, 2013 8:29 pm

What is the difference between high and low brass?
What makes a round dirty?
Would like to start off on the right foot, going to get some ammo.

High brass on left Low brass right. Dirty ammo is caused by the type of powder used in the round.

Thx for the reply. But How do u determine what ammo uses black powder that's considered dirty and why would you pick high over low or vice versa?

Nowadays, high-brass or low-brass doesn't necessarily mean a round is high-power or low-power. That was a bigger deal back in the days of paper shotshells, the way I understand it. Still, full-power shells tend to be high-brass.

You also won't see any modern shells loaded with black powder, unless they're specialty loads meant for cowboy action shooting, so don't worry about that.

In my admittedly limited experience, I have seen high brass shotshells that are stored for a period in leather belt loops develop a green oxidation/ verdigris on the brass that contacts the leather. So be careful of that issue as far as ammunition storage goes...
