My first lot of AR brass was Remington and I won't make that mistake again. Despite, for the most part, shooting target reloads they started cracking relatively soon-quicker than any of the .45 ACP brass that I shoot. I currently have had Starline AR brass for as long or longer than I had the Remington and have not had a single case failure.

Star line A+ go to their website, they have a good deal with shipping included for 500 it was like $85-
was said you can get at least 8 reloads + out of them.

The Starline 45 AR brass has worked well for me.

I have Starline brass but only because it is the most common available in my area.
Paul5388 has had some real problems with their brass but to my knowledge not in the 45AR type.
Mine has performed well and I have loaded some 240gr LSWC to 1100fps in it. It still works fine and seems to have much more life left in it.

Didn't we just talk about this here, last week?
I've observed no difference between the Remington and Starline .45 AR brass in terms of usefulness.

Yep, but too many people are too lazy or too uninformed about using the Search Function before they ask their questions or make their comments.Originally posted by Erich: Didn't we just talk about this here, last week?

Dejavu all over again
KKG, I am not lazy;uninformed perhaps but thats the reason I ask questions. I missed the post from last week or whenever. My question was asked in good faith. Your comment was a tad harsh IMO but you are welcome to your viewpoint. My thanks to everyone who replied with help.
When I got my 625 about 5 years ago all i had was Rp auto rim The first few 100 did well alots of reloads. Then I got 500ct R-P form Midway and some Star. The R-P is not good at all now But the Star is holding up very well. stay away for R-P if you can

As has been said many times, YMMV, especially when it comes to brass quality. When it comes to AR brass, the choices are very limited, like R-P or Starline. I normally use R-P, if I even want to mess with AR brass.
However, I normally don't use AR brass and don't really see a need for it with the advent of good usable plastic moon clips (RIMZ) that don't eat your hands up while using them. In fact, if I want some real "war horse" loads, I use .45 Super brass (there's no question about what they'll stand) with moon clips.
As a side note, the search feature on many forums just sucks, to put it mildly. I have found, and I think you'll find complete agreement on handloads.com, the repetitious answering of the same questions builds continuing confidence in the participants and creates an atmosphere that's conducive to more meaningful dialog. It's commonly called "mentoring" and can easily be accomplished through the electronic medium.

I have always used Remington 45 AR brass and have never had a problem.

That dear friend is a lost art. In order to do it you have to get connected and stay in touch. Sounds like it is going to cost us something, time, effort, study.
Our hobby is not the only place mentoring is needed in today's day and age. Kids, there is a good place to use this lost tool!
Just in case you can't guess though, I'M IN!
Others have mentored me, I am going to mentor others.
Thanks Paul for all you've done to share your knowledge with us, me!
God Bless!

Mentoring.
Yes, of all the subsections in the Forum, I can think of no area better, more valuable, or more important from a safety aspect than the Reloading one for those with many years of experience to engage in a little kind mentoring.
I like 45AR and have both Rem and Starline brass. I generally prefer Starline because I found I get better accuracy with a firm taper crimp than a roll crimp on my lead target loads. Starline brass seems harder to me and works better in that respect. However, I do use a firm roll crimp for the field load biggies.
