375H&H brass is not even on Winchesters list of available component brass.

My guess is if you screw up a hand load the powder/bullet manufactures have an out, by saying, see you didn't follow the recipe exactly you used the wrong brand of case.

It would be very difficult closer to impossible to find factory loaded Winchester 375H&H.
Remington Ammo and cases no problem.

P.S. Stop hoarding components!

you need to quit picking the white stuff out of the chicken shit and get to loading Wink in the real world fed, rem, ww, norma, etc etc brass all interchange at anything other than MAX loads for your specific rifle. unless you find one brand prettier than the other, & that is a completely different story!

if you are using the book as a guide and are properly developing the load from low to higher charges, the brand makes little difference.

WW used to mske a bunch of it. Alternatives are to buy factory ammo and use the brass to reload. NORMA makes good brass as do Hornady, Federal and others. RP brass isn't quite what it used to be it seems but it does work! Folks used to accept that WW brass was a bit sturdier.

I never found that the brand of brass mattered a lot. You still have to work the load up to make sure it is not excessive regardless of the brass used. I use cup and core bullet data the same way. The weight is the weight regardless of the brand. Picking the right starting load is important.

why? because, for decades, it was the only brass decently available, and its only changed in the last 2 years that it has gone to "seasonal" run.

call winchester and ask when they are running another batch


opinions vary band of bubbas and STC hunting Club
