Starline, Inc. 5.56×45mm NATO Brass - Rugged Quality You Can Rely On

For reloaders who demand performance, consistency, and longevity, Starline, Inc.'s 5.56×45mm NATO Brass represents the pinnacle of brass craftsmanship. Produced in the U.S. by a company revered for its attention to detail, this brass delivers precision engineering that makes every step of your reloading process cleaner, smoother, and more reliable.

Why This Brass Stands Out

Consistent Quality, Every Batch

Starline is famous for tight tolerances in case necks, wall thickness, and primer pockets. That translates into consistent headspace, reliable pressure control, and nearly identical bullet release-every time.

Slightly Harder Case Head for Military Loads

Compared to Starline’s .223 Remington brass, Starline’s 5.56 NATO brass features a tougher metallurgy at the base to withstand higher pressures typical of military-grade ammunition-offering extended durability. Sniper's Hide+15Brownells+15Accurate Shooter Forum+15

Domestic Made, Trusted Brand

Since 1976, Starline, Inc. has remained U.S.-based, providing complete control over material and production quality. That commitment gives reloaders confidence in knowing their components are built from the ground up with consistency and integrity. Brownells

Built for Tactical and Competition Reloading

The 5.56 NATO case is the military-standard cousin of the .223 Remington, offering compatibility with higher-pressure loadings. Starline’s brass is designed specifically to meet these heightened standards-not merely re-stamped .223 cases-ensuring safe and effective use in firearms marked for 5.56 NATO. Brownells+1
