[QUOTE="wildcat westerner, post: 666889, member: 21361"] Hello Chad, Basically all brass is good, but some of it is much better. There is nothing wrong with Remington or Winchester, basically Winchester brass can take higher pressures. Norma is of higher quality than American brass and Lapua virtually can't be beat. When you look at any other brass and carefully check it out as to: OAL, uniform annealing at the neck, uniform weight and capacity, flashole diameter ( Lapua drills, not stamps, theirs) inside neck chamfering you can only appreciate how good and uniform Lapua is if you have a scale that weighs in .00 increments. Might I suggest another altrnative: RWS brass available from Huntington Die Specialties. Most people have never seen it or heard of it. It is plainly able to stand up to higher pressures than any other brass. I have some for my 300 wildcat . The 9.3 x64 Brenneke basic case was rebated so it fits an '06 bolt face, blown out and sharp shouldered and it fits four into a rifles' magazine. Utilizing this brass I was able to to match .300 Weatherby PUBLISHED ballistics for the 180 grain bullet and this with no freebore. I do not believe any brass can stand up to such high pressures and yet virtually nobody knows anything about this fine brass. Its not cheap and that should be no surprise. My two cents worth. Gene S.
