PO BOX 763 KENMORE Q. 4069
Do you have an odd gun that you just can't find brass for?

AV Ballistics Formed Obsolete cases are all Boxer primer design; They are Full length sized in the appropriate dies, and are trimmed to length as required. All rim and extractor groove modifications are Lathe Turned. Some cases, due to the nature of the parent case, may be slightly shorter than normal factory case length, but this shortness does not affect safety or case life.
 ANNEALING is carried out on Selected Formed cases, where extensive Re-forming has been done.

Where possible, Brand-new Factory Commercial cases are used as the parent case. For economy, with certain calibres, Once-Fired Military Brass is used.

If the Customer requires Military cases for their own Reforming Projects ( ie, .270 from .30, etc) we will endeavour either to Form the cases to the finished calibre, or supply selected , “Undented” cases. POA.

Whilst all care is taken to ensure the quality of the brass, this is Once-Fired Military Brass, and is sold as such. Where the Brass is listed as being Full Length Sized etc, it is checked by the use of Standard Foster-type case gauges ; The FLS Brass is NOT Trimmed. The term "Polished" refers to the Military Factory standard of "New" Brass, that is, free from Grit or Tarnish; it is NOT the Commercial "Polish" found on
Commercial New brass.

AV Ballistics Case Polishing Medium:

Are you sick of getting cases glugged up by corn cob or walnut shell polishing medium? Tired of spending money on "rejuvenators" and other expensive additives to get your cases clean? Then AVB has the answer...the AVB Case Cleaning Granulated PVC.

Made from recycled electrical cable sheathing, this chopped PVC actually assists the recycling industry, by finding a downstream use for a waste product that would otherwise be used as landfill. The finely balanced mixture of fine copper dust, and larger particles of PVC electrical cable sheathing (multicoloured) gives a gentle cleaning and polishing effect to Brass cases, from Military Range produce to the normally "clean" pistol shells used in revolvers. AV Ballistics uses it in Cement Mixers, to do preparatory cleaning of Military Once Fired brass, prior to resale or reforming.

A batch of AVB Cleaning Medium will normally last for 15 to 20 loads of a large Vibrator/Tumbler, such as a Lyman 3200, or even more in a rotary Tumbler (various brands). If you have a small cement mixer, then the usage life is even longer.

When the colour of the PVC has all disappeared under a coat of dirt and debris from the cases, then it is time to dispose of it (in the wheelie bin.); it can also be used to increase the porosity of soil, by mixing it in, as a garden base.

And now the Cost??!!

STILL Only $25.00 per 4kg bag !!!!

( Plus P&H)

Compare that with $40 to $50 for a ten pound (4,53 kg) box of (Imported) CornCob????

A 4kg bag will suffice for about 30-35 cycles in a medium sized vibrator or tumbler.
Time to clean from 1 to 3 hours, depending on "dirtiness" of the cases.
It will remove all grit and dirt from cases, making them suitable for trouble free resizing, and avoid scratching or scoring die sets.

The PVC medium is NOT affected by humidity or weather changes, or vermin. (See how sticky Corncob gets in the North of Australia, and the Mice love it!!!)

Helpful hint, leave primers in place when case cleaning...decap them when cleaned...that saves digging all the cleaning medium out of the pockets and flash-holes later.

Since AVB began selling this product in Queensland, we have had only one complaint...we always sell out at gunshows, and customers can�t get enough of it.
