[QUOTE="kweidner, post: 1343386, member: 4964"] Tim, Honestly brass consistency is everything. I have a sub 800yard FTR load that I use in short barrel .308's for competition utilizing RE-17 and berger 230 grain. Look I did this just to show people it could be done. The 230 is a wind bucking beast even at low mortar like velocities. There is no way I would even attempt this with sub-par brass. Now to which manufacture is best? That is personal preference and any of the three you mentioned will get there. My personal preference is lapua. It's just what I use. I anneal between every firing and my 230grain load will absolutely level a hog. I live in hog country and have used this load for killing them too. Get you a box of good brass, take care of it and you will see it will pay for itself in accuracy as well as life. There are many pieces I use that have had over 20 reloading cycles. As long as the primer pockets stay tight it's good to go. Sub par brass you might get 5 loading cycles. twice the cost is worth it for 4 times the number of reloads. [/QUOTE]
