Cartridge Brass has the perfect wall thickness, lenght and it's for free  -
people trow it into the waste bin at the shooting range.
For my Burners I use .44 Mag and .454 Casull Revolver cases.
I make also nice steam whistle from Rifle Cartridge.
Reloading is okay for expensive or rare calibers like a Vetterli 10,4 mm
which was a Swiss military rifle in 1869! That's fun too - but thats another Story.
