[QUOTE="Drjones65, post: 2675067, member: 95676"] I know what they say about opinions.... and I know if all of us were around a hunting camp fire and we were discussing what truck was best it would get wild in a hurry soooooooo...I will preface my request with I am not a competition bench rest shooter. I hunt and I shoot long range for fun. I do like accuracy and I like to get the best results I can get. I buy what I think are quality bullets and I use what I think are quality primers. (Some of you will have your own opinion on bullets and primers but that is another discussion.) I have, in the past purchased new Lapua, Norma and Nosler brass. I see on other posts guys have strong opinions on these particular brands of brass. For my 300 WM's ( I have 3) I load Lapua, Norma and Hornady. So, the local range here are brass hawks and police the brass thoroughly. They in turn sell the range brass. I just bought a large bag of 30.06 range brass (several hundred pieces) for $0.19 each - mixed headstamps. There is lots of the various Remington brass (R-P, Peters, UMC, etc.), Various Winchester brass, Federal brass, Hornady brass, and a small amount of other odds & ends brass. 1- How much difference does brass play in accuracy in shooting? (If any real discernable difference?) Is the average guy reloading going to see any real difference between headstamps? 2- Of all of the various commercial brass out there, what is the best to worst in general opinion? When I load, I like to load all of one thing top keep the variable to a minimal. I will sort out all of the brass and probably only keep two headstamps. Thanks for sharing the wisdom and knowledge to this inquiring mind. [/QUOTE]
