[QUOTE="tony d willIiams, post: 2048206, member: 108777"] Just a simple answer from a simple man. If I am shooting 400 yards or less, the quality of the brass would be of importance in that I may be able to get a greater number of reloads from it. If I am shooting at 400 and greater the difference will begin to appear, and the farther the target, the more the inconsistencies will show. Volume inside the brass. Imagine having a different compression ratio in each cylinder of your racing V8 580 CID. Every cylinder would perform differently and a lack of repeatability would haunt you forever. I reloaded some brass, and the difference of the volume was visible to my eye. Some loads were compressed, and some the powder was loose under the bullet. The results at 1/2 mile could not be known until after the shot was fired. The starting base of reloading is the brass. In my opinion everything needs to be top notch and consistent. If it isn't, then it doesn't matter how nice and precise your rifle and optics are. [/QUOTE]
