My Alpha Munitions brass came in this week. It looks really good. While it is expensive, it did come in a 100 round cartridge box. I pulled 20 pieces out at random and checked them for OAL and weight. All fell within 1.479 and 1.482 OAL, (with 16 pieces at 1.480 to 1.485). And all fell between 110.5 gr and 111.5 grains, (with those same 16 pieces weighing between 110.5 and 110.7 grains). I saw no sign of burrs or "chads" in the flash holes. That is excellent uniformity "right out of the box". I'll do my usual uniformity check after they've been fired and resized twice and trimmed to 1.480. Meanwhile I'm going to order another 100.
