[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1129114, member: 12995"] Normally, I would say out of those 3 brands, Winchester, hands-down, but you seem to have a lot more Remington brass than anything. Under the circumstances you have described, I would use the Remington. BUT, being that you are going with a brand new barrel, that will most likely be cut by a reamer that is bound to be much sharper, and has tighter tolerances than what cut the factory barrel's chamber, and even after full-length resizing, your old brass might not fit in the new chamber (I have encountered this before). I would pickup a couple boxes of new Nosler 7mm brass, and start from scratch.

In the grand scheme of things, what's an extra $150 for 100 new high-quality cases that will last you a really long time.
