[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 506542, member: 2736"] Federal has loaded some very good ammo and probably still does , but I have not had good luck with reloading there brass so if I am somewhere away and need some more ammo I will buy Federal ammo for some of my rifles If I can't find anything else but I dont save any of the brass. One of the reasons that I weight sort all of my new brass is to find out how consistant it is. If I end up with 2 or 3 batches (Each batch is within 1 grain) I am OK with it and if it can be loaded 3 or 4 times before the necks split I anneal them and start over after the second time (7 or 8 firings) I discard then. I do not load hard anymore and brass last long enough to keep me out of trouble. I have not reached this point with the Lapua yet but the first sign of a pending failure and I will have my limit of firings for the Lapua. So far the lapua brass has out lasted everything else. A lot of guys on this site said It was the best and I think They were right. The reason Winchester Is down on my list is when I weight sort it I end up with 7 or 8 different batches and this concerns me as far as quality control. In the beginning I though Nosler was making there own brass and I assumed it would be as good as all of there other products and after using one batch I bough another and found it weighed differently than the first batch (Which defeated the whole idea of weighted brass) so i gave up on it. Other people have reportedly had good results with it but i didn't. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
