FAQs

Q: Is this a real hull, or a replica? A: Genuine, once-fired Federal Top Gun brass — not a cast or molded replica.

Q: Is the primer removed, or still in the hull? A: Intact — the spent primer remains in place, fully inert, and cannot be fired.

Q: Will all pieces look identical? A: Close, but expect minor variation in wear and headstamp legibility since these are genuine once-fired hulls, not new manufacture.

Q: When will my order ship? A: Most orders ship within 1 business day.
