Re: PEW ammunition
Our company has become the official representative and exclusive distributor of Frontier missiles. Thousands of shooters prefer CMJ Frontier bullets due to unrivaled consistency, overall reliability and accuracy. CMJ bullets are completely coated with pure copper. The core consists of a lead antimony alloy. The shape of the CMJ does not allow the separation of the shell and the core. All CMJ missiles are restructured for greater consistency and overall accuracy

Re: PEW ammunition
I frequently shoot at indoor ranges in JHB and pick up brass during the shoots, obviously first asking if it is okay, in order not to be labeled as a brass goblin. Anyway, I probably ended up with about 1500 pieces of 9mm brass and started cleaning them this morning. It is then that in a sample size of about 250 odd pieces I found two "hairline cracks", running vertically for roughly 1 cm each as per the images below on the PEW brass.

Btw the firing pins marks on the spent primer for one of them looks like the iconic Glock strike, whereas I can't determine the second as it is a more water drop shaped.
And no, I doubt it is my cleaning method, I use 15 liters of lukewarm water, 1 tsp of Citric & Tartaric Acid and about 5ml of Sunlight with a dash of clean green in a stationary bucket. After it has been dried it goes into the vibratory tumbler for about 4 hours. I still need to deprime and then remove the stickiness created by the dry tumbling.
I was wondering if anyone else has found this on PEW range brass before? It also looks to be once fired, will return to this post should I find more cracks.

Re: PEW ammunition
My own brass does this as well. It simply means those cases have reached the end of their reloading lifespan. Enough cycles and they split eventually. Inspect your cleaned brass for split cases and toss them.
I can actually hear a different sound if I have split cases when I’m busy separating brass from tumbling media.

Re: PEW ammunition
100% understood, but my only concern is that the PEW ammunition hasn't been that long on the shelves right? Hence me having second thoughts about using them in my reloading process.
I deprimed the two and they honestly look once fired, primer walls look new as is the primer pockets as they have minimal powder gunk. There is also no "nipple/crater" created on the primer pocket which normally for me indicates its been shot a few times and I end up chucking it.

Re: PEW ammunition
Those cracks can also be an indication that the cases or cartridges were stored in the presence of ammonia, e.g. in the same box or container as ammonia based cleaners.
