[QUOTE="whitely, post: 665958, member: 5167"] I have tried only Federal, Winchester, and Norma brass. I found the Federal produced good results (accurate, low extreme spread), but the primer pockets became too loose to reload more than a few times. I found the Winchester brass was less consistent and produced less accurate reloads. The Winchester brass also required a lot of trimming. Then I tried the Norma brass, and I'm done looking around for something better. The brass is expensive (I don't give a crap), but is great. The flash holes are drilled. I measured the water volumes of once fired, and trimmed brass, and they were the best of the bunch. I haven't had to trim the brass since the first time, even after a couple of firings. Norma brass also produced the best results at the range. One thing to note was that the Norma brass in 7mm possess a larger volume, so I had to increase my charges a little to get the same speed as the Federal (about 1 gr of RL-22 in my case) cases.
