I only say new because I haven't seen it before.

Hopefully this hasn't been posted yet:

Keith actually touched on it briefly at http://huntandshoot.com.au/articles/hun ... ombie-max/. Certainly provoked some mixed responses over here and various forums. ;)

My cousin picked up 5 boxes yesterday for his 223 . I will let you know how they go. I'm sure they will go bang, pretty sure the foxes wont know the diff. A bit of a gimmick but what ever helps sell your product I guess, maybe collectable It's a limited run from what I can make of it.

Will let you know.

I wouldn't imagine so, Brass is useful as casings as it is soft and not brittle it allows it to expand (and be resized). I am not even sure you can reload steel cases??
