Starline Brass

[Gunlaker]

Kurt my Shiloh in .40-65 gets those little lead rings shooting greasers. Maybe the thickness of a human hair or less. In that rifle I run my cases really close to the end of the chamber, maybe 0.002" away. The rings almost always stick to the extracted case mouth.

I wipe between shots and it's one of the most accurate rifles I've ever shot. It's a fine balance trying to completely get rid of the lead rings and not running the brass too long. Especially when you have a trimmer that works off of the back of the rim, and you have some rim thickness inconsistency.

Even so, I just live with the tiny lead rings and try to keep my brass about 0.002" short. Interestingly this is the only rifle I've ever noticed the rings in. But I'd pick it over every other rifle I have hands down, at least to 600 yards.
