AV
BALLISTICS
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.
NO ANNEALING is carried out on the Formed cases, so that for certain calibres,
the buyer may have to perform annealing of the shoulder and necks as required,
before loading. Where possible, Brand-new Factory Commercial cases are used as
the parent case. For economy, with certain calibres, Once-Fired Military Brass
is used.

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.
ONCE FIRED SHOTGUN SHELLS:
AV Ballistics has a large variety of quality once-fired shotshells in 12 gauge. Case designs are European tube type; base sleeves vary from low brass to high brass, with European intermediate sizes in between. Brands include Winchester, S&B, Bornaghi, Rio, Fiocchi, and sundry others. These shells were the result of the pre-Olympic National Shoot, and other later National Shotgun Competitions.
The shells are in clean and excellent condition, and can be
reloaded with appropriate components. Body colours vary like the rainbow (Gold,
Red, Purple, Blue, Green, Black, etc)
European type two piece Tubular body shells (any colour):
$40.00 per Box of 1,000
It is the User’s responsibility to use correct
handloading procedures and techniques.
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??!!
Only $25.00 per 4kg bag
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...decappe 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.

Returns and Defects Policy:
Where a defect arises in a cartridge case, from an AVB manufacture-related cause, AV Ballistics will replace the defective item free of charge; but as AV Ballistics acquires its cartridge brass from both New manufacture and also Military Surplus, no responsibility can be taken by AVB as to the way the Purchasor or User reloads the cartridge case or how it is then utilised, especially if the defect arises due to Handloader error or ignorance, or to an inherent defect from its original manufacturer, or to a defect in the firearm in which such reloaded cartridge is used.
Customers should follow good reloading procedures and safe gun use practices.
AV Ballistics can supply guidance and reference to appropriate
texts as to correct loads for particular formed cartridge cases, given they are
not Factory original manufacture, but formed from other cases.
