Title: Re: Krag brass at Grafs
Post by Playapat on Mar 19th, 2019 at 1:06am
I’ve bought 400 of these from Graf’s recently. The brass is heavier than Remington’s. I measured the Captechs at 20 grains lighter than RP. On the other hand, the Captech brass is short. It measures about 3.00” on the nose. After the first firing, about half the RP brass needed to be trimmed; none of the Captech has surpassed 3.010” after one firing and sizing.

The bevel on the Captech is much less noticeable than on the RP. At first I didn’t notice that there was any bevel, until I looked closely.

Some of the Captech has blemishes on it (brown discoloration), but I’ve had no problems firing it.

The nicest thing, besides the price, is that all 8 bags I got had 51 cases, not 50.  :D
