[QUOTE="vancewalker007, post: 2446832, member: 66917"] One of the issues that was note pointed out with varying brass manufactures is a safety issue. If you run up tight against your rifle's pressure limit with a load in say Winchester brass, then try the same load in a thicker brass like Nosler you could be way over pressure. Especially in warm or hot weather. So, to minimize this issue you could pick a lower powder node but this is robbing your rifle's true performance. Now most of the large volume manufactures brass will be very similar in thickness ie. Remington, Federal, Hornady, Winchester. I've found Winchester is usually the thinnest of the this bunch. You can use your mixed brass, just with the understanding that it is not the best approach from a performance and safety standpoint. I've done it in the distant past, usually with Federal, Rem, and Winchester brass. Just put getting a batch of new brass from 1 manufacturer on your reloading list of to-dos. It doesn't have to be the most expensive brand either for what you are doing. Then get a way to anneal and your brass will last and perform for a long time. [/QUOTE]
