I just won an auction and bought 2 boxes. RWS/Nobel, 27 loaded and 13 empties. What can you tell me about it ? Has anyone chambered a single shot for it ?

It very strong brass.

In SS most people use it to form cases that use the 357 Max as their base.

MidwayUSA stocks S&B factory ammo. Nothing you'd use a 222Rem on will know the difference. I have a FBW Model K that is a delight. Thank you, Steve. Also have a large set of 32 Miller Short cases converted from 5.6X50R.

Charlie Dell favored them for his 32/357 (don’t dare call it a “32 Dell”!)  he gave me a box of 20 new unprimed cases ro get me started with my Peregrine Bench gun, but mostly I used Starline 357 Mag cases in it.
