[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1019827, member: 10291"] For the shooting requirements you describe changing brass should not be a big deal. The biggest factor will be the case capacity differences between brands. I have found 1-2 grain difference between brass brands in 308 sized cases. This might require reducing your charge if your new case has a lower capacity and your current load is at max pressure. I will generally compare net weights(with either water or powder) between my current case when fully filled to the sized current brass and compare it to the new brass. Subtract the weight of the empty cases from you weight since the raw brass will likely have weight differences. Winchester brass has been generally thinner than Remington brass and has larger capacity. If Im running stiff loads and my new brass has a lower capacity, I will usually back off a grain or two when trying loads. [/QUOTE]
