[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 2676090, member: 313"] [B]How much difference does brass play in accuracy in shooting? [/B] It all depends on what you are looking to achieve. I'd test matching loads in premium brass (Lapua, ADG, Alpha) against some regular brass (Rem, Win, Hornady) to see what the difference is on paper, at the ranges you would hunt. Then you can see exactly what the difference is and if it would be worthwhile to continue buying all premium brass. I did this myself comparing fully prepped standard grade brass against Lapua in a highly accurate LR varmint rig. The difference was measurable. But it's important to remember, I'm shooting at rather small targets over distance. If I was shooting biggame the difference wouldn't have been a hit-or-miss issue. As someone else posted above, high quality brass can "often" withstand higher pressures and will usually last longer. If you pay twice as much but get twice the service life, then the premium brass doesn't cost any more. [/QUOTE]
