| Norma or Lapua in a better economy. Winchester fits the bill for now.

| For bench rest it might matter, for hunting, it doesn't. I prefer Remington then whatever I can get. No statistical reason, just 'cause. I can not see paying double for some of the brands just for a hunting rifle, like Norma/Lapua/Nosler vs Winchester for loading my 6.5-284 (or 308 for that matter).

| Depends on caliber but Lapua or RWS tied for 1st, then Norma, then Nosler custom, then WW then RP. Federal I will never buy again for rifle brass. Way too soft at least in 308 & 06.

| I shoot hunting and blackpowder cartridge rifles at targets. I like large lots of already proofed cases  that is once fired as long as they are all the same headstamp from about the same year of manufacture. Moslty I wind up with Rem, Win, Fed, and Norma but I also have Prvi Partisan, US GI and a few others. |

| FWIW, I use Winchester brass for most of my US cartridges, but I prefer Lapua and Norma for my European cartridges. However, I will use what I can get my hands on when I need it, including buying loaded ammo for the brass. For general hunting purposes, anything will work fine...even nickel-plated brass. Lou

| If I can find it in the caliber I need I have found RWS to be the best. Consistant in size and weight. Lapua and Norma also good. Winchester, Remington and then Federal. |

| I use military LC in .223, .308, and 30-06. In 9,3x62 I use Graf. In 9,3x74R I really prefer RWS. Hornady in the Steyr based cartridges. Have used Norma for the Rigby, and BeLL for the .470 NE. R-P for the other stuff. Mike -------------- DRSS, Womper's Club, NRA Life Member/Charter Member NRA Golden Eagles ... Knifemaker, http://www.mstarling.com |
