I just bought 400 rds of remington brass on E bay. What do you guys think of remington brass? Thanks

Use it in my .223 with great results. I also use Lake City and WW. I don't mix them. The Remington and the WW seem to pretty much shoot the smallest groups for me.

I guess I'm a bit concerned that someone might hurt your feelings since you have already obtained 400 pieces.

I myself do not like it very much. I prefer WW.

You can't hurt my feelings, I've been divorced TWICE!. I just bought it because it seemed like a deal. I gave fifty some bucks for 400. I am gonna try it if it doesn't work well enoughto hunt with I can always shoot rocks with it. Thanks

Now thats funny

Everybody has a favorite for some reason or another. I have always used Remington brass and get .230 and .360 groups in different rifles. You did better than me. I just bought 500 for $94.

This is the guy you want to get you brass from. I've been dealing with John for awhile now. Very fair prices.

Remington is my brass of choice.

The only time I do not use Remington Brass is when it's a caliber Remington does not make brass for. And then it is WW.

I use Remington brass for my 257 AI and my dads 30-338. I have nothing bad to report at all.

I hate remington brass.. i have lost several lots of 257 because of neck problems..i thave had split neck problems in my 280's , the 7x57 brass fails early & often.. i only use 35 whelen & 280 because winchester does not make 35whelen & winchester 280 is nickle.

The vast majority of my shooting, which runs to over 5000 rifle rounds per year (almost all with cast bullets) is done with Remington or Winchester brass. Norma makes my .416 Rigby brass, which is my only departure from Remchester.

Each make seems to go through occasional problem periods or lots. For instance, I have about 300 Winchester cases in .338 Magnum, and this batch is plagued with early neck or shoulder cracking. Right now, my Remington brass in about a dozen calibers seems to be doing fine, but who knows what the next lot brings with it?

Both are decent brands, and don't lose any sleep over it.

Thanks Guys I am going to see how it goes. I have been reloading whatever I had. It was quite a mixture. For the price I thought Go for it.

I have no problems with Rem brass. I've 30-06 cases that I've loaded for so long that I'm on a first name basis with them.

theres nothin wrong with remington brass,i find the only differance between remington an ww is ww seems to not stretch as much.

chain: What caliber? I have had lots of problems with Win. 22-250 and case head separation after 3-4 loadings. I've been told Rem. is better choice for this caliber.

I've found remington brass to be more consistent than WW brass, in primer pocket depth and diameter and in rim thickness. Only a couple lots of each for the sample size, though. A box of 50 or 100 in each caliber lasts me years. My experience is with 243 and 30-06 for both and REM in 260.

chain: Remington may not be the best, but I use them exclusively for all my reloading needs. Some of my rounds I have reloaded up to 14 times and still going great.

Cheers!
