Looks interesting, will be interesting how it all performs in the real world.

Hmmm, look real pretty, great advertising spill but ill take far more convincing that these stainless steel cases are better than brass.

The way brass expands and contracts during firing forms an important function in action strenght and gas sealing ... how dose stainless compare?

Re sizing, neck tention, case life, extraction after firing, chamber wear and wear on your dies ... I'm more than a bit dubious.

Perhaps I'm just not good with change ?
I still can't bring myself to try led free projectiles. I'll take even more convincing that brass is a thing of the past.

Interesting, Australian Once Fired Brass Facebook group has a good article on this case. Something not quite right for reloading. Didn't read the full article.

Magnets will stick to some grades of stainless.
My stainless fridge is adorned with the wifes fridge magnets holding my bills up on display.
