Jay JohnsonUse 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.

DocI 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.

DwightEverybody 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.

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

ricciardelliRemington 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.

.366torqueI use Remington brass for my 257 AI and my dads 30-338. I have nothing bad to report at all.

Bren Mk1The 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.

chainThanks 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.

iwzbeemanI 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.

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

Coltchrischain: 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.

LorenSI'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.

Danny Boychain: 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!
