New Brass Qusetion?

[TheHunt]

I think the differences is how soft one brass is to another.   Think of softer brass as playdough as you put pressure on it.  So you will trim more and if you use high pressure loads you might see the differences in brass.

A lot of the brass you buy now the case mouth needs to be sized because some are dented and out of round.

As for the remington vs. winchester debate.

Both are "bulk" brass of average quality. I wouldn't rate one over the other, as they both vary quite a bit in overall length and case volume--even between pieces of the same lot number. Good for most shooting needs. Buy whatever it cheaper.

I tend to use mostly winchester for pistol and rifle...not because it is superior, but because it is most available in my area. Also, I tend to stay away from Remington pistol ammunition becasue I find it seems to run a little dirty...so most of my pistol brass is winchester. Once I develope a load, I like to stay with the same brass.

I was using winchester brass for my .280 Ackley.  You can see dents in the new brass so you should put them through the sizer before loading the first time.  When Nosler started making brass for the Ackley I switched to them and the brass is better quality. (and more $$$)  Anyone else using Nosler brass?
