I have a Ruger Super Redhawk in .480 Ruger (9.5" barrel) that was unfired until today. The date it was fired at the factory was 12/19/2008. The revolver has the six shot cylinder. When I ordered brass the first time, all that was available was Hornady. I loaded fifty rounds of the original 100 pieces I ordered. I have since received 100 pieces of Starline brass. I'm loading a 355 gr. hard cast, gas checked bullet over 16 gr. of Unique. The revolver was a real joy to shoot and it is very accurate. The only problem I had was the sticky brass issue, had to bang the cases out with a screw driver handle. Loaded case diameter was around 0.5025 and fired case diameter is 0.5085, not a huge difference in my mind. Do you guys think if I switch to the Starline brass using the same load my problem will be solved? It really isn't quite warm enough up here to spend a lot of time on the bench but I should be able to in another month.
Thanks much!
