Anyway I guess it is just habbit now that I have been saving my brass since. I've got about 5 or a little more boxes of 30-06 and 7mm Brass in my hunting stuff. The thing I am wondering is does it matter if the brass comes from Remington, Hornaday, Federal, etc? Do I have to keep it seperate or can I just throw it in a bag? As of now I have been keeping it seperate and most of it in the boxes.

For reloading... I separate my brass even if it is the same caliber. I like to keep each batch together IF I can but that's not always possible. I like to keep track of how many loads they have gone through. Doing so... I can also be aware when a whole batch seems bad. I just got rid of a bad batch Remington .223 brass.

Just wondering if it's really worth saving. I've got some loose 30-06 Brass that has also only been shot once. It's Hornaday and Federal I know that. I keep it seperate in zip locks.

Once you've shot a match, and you get a bit "crazy, anal, whatever...." about your brass, and brass prep, I guess you becomed ruined about how you treat your brass, and can't lump it all together anymore.
Its not just separated by BRAND, its LOT that is iportant.
On Factory Loaded ammo, Lot numbers are on back of the box. If you purchase ammo in larger sums, you can look at the back of the box, and match Lot numbers, that way you will be ensured that your ammo will place the same on target.
This may be a bit that folks didn't know, may even confuse a few, but for those that shoot precision rifle, they already knew it, or maybe it will help some in a small way.
