[QUOTE="Quintus, post: 1774211, member: 67552"] I am in the same boat. With the rifles I have these days it doesn't seem to matter as much component for component. I also seldom shoot past 450 with a hunting rifle. I am using Hornady Brass from my 6.5PRC with the initial goal of MOA to 500. As is often the case I still ended up averaging 2.5" groups at 400 with the 3 different bullets used with Berger 130VLDH actually being the worst at 3" with RL22, Hornady Brass, and WLR primers. I ended up taking my antelope at about 380 yards with the Berger as a first test (I hadn't killed anything bigger than a prairie dog with Bergers). I have just started my 3rd loading with my first set of 100 brass and they are holding up nicely. I will probably not even get into the next 100 new brass for a decade as loads have been developed and this rifle will not see a lot of action outside of hunt prep (hunting gun) so I am glad I don't have the extra $100 tied up in brass.
