USMC experimented with brass 12 ga ctg in Viet Nam because the paper ctg was prone to swelling. The full brass still required to be wiped down w/oily rag to avoid corrosion. They only lasted a short while before they were replaced with the plastic ctg which was becoming commercially available around that time. Military has used plastic ever since. I have some 12 ga 00 Buck from the early 70s that is still useable. It's Federal plastic.

Oh, and the Russians also had a full-brass 12 ga round, but I know nothing about it. Also, S&B (Czech) made them for the military years ago, as well.

Now I have a curiosity of my own. I found a full brass .410 case in the desert, a few months ago. It has no brand on the headstamp, only "410" and nothing else. I had never heard of a full-brass .410 round before.

Thanx gunrnr so they are rare?

the US Army issued full brass in WWI for the same reason. the paper shells swelled and wouldn't cycle after being exposed to rain or damp conditions. i have never seen an example though.
