The BR shooters don`t purchase their brass ready to load, they buy the most uniform they can find and go over it with a fine tooth comb rejecting everything but the most uniform of the lot.
Ol' Joe,
A few years back you could get brass that was designated .308BR. It was made for a small primer instead of the large primer. I wanted to get some to do some experimenting with my .243. |

308BR was made by Remington. You might try Sinclair. If they do not have any they might know who does.
There is a company, I think they are in Arkansas, that sells brass and bullets in bulk. They had a bunch of 308BR at one time.
I am assuming this is for a competion rifle of some type? If you cannot find any BR brass, you might try RWS primers in regular brass, it gives similar results as it is a very mild primer. Palma shooters were using them. |

N E 450 No2,
Would you have a contact phone # or web site for Sinclair? I have heard the small primer helps accuarcy and I wanted to try it in my .243 to see what it does. I wonder how the RWS primers would work for my .243?
