Does anyone have any experience with RWS brass? How does it compare to the other brands?

I've used it in 404 Jeffery and to reform into a wildcat from that brass. I found it to be about as good as it could get. It was consistent in weight and had the appearance of almost being machined inside and out.

In the wildcat I had been getting maximum about 5 reloads using Mast (Bell) brass. I have 28 reloads now on some of those cases and finally the pockets are getting a bit loose.

If I could use nothing but RWS brass, I'd be totally happy.

I was given some RWS along with the .375 H&H they fit when I bought the rifle. I therefore have no idea of how many times these cases were loaded before I got my grubby hands on them; I have since loaded them about a dozen times.

I can say that these RWS cases are very uniform in weight, neck thickness and straightness (as measured by my RCBS tool). At least as good as Lapua non-magnum cases... and that is a compliment.

The only other calibre I used RWS brass in was 30-06 head size, and that brass seemed to last forever. However, back then I didn't weigh cases or measure concentricity so I cannot comment on that... I guess I have become more obsessed with accuracy as the years went by!

Thanks guys for your input. I ordered some for my 7mm Rem Mag. and can't wait to give it a try.

Delta Hunter,

I would lay money that when you get it you will have to do absolutely nothing to it other than prime, charge and seat.

It comes perfectly sized and even the necks have a discernable chamfer. I never try to uniform RWS - I have only succeeded in making it less uniform!
