[QUOTE="Dave York, post: 1728360, member: 102479"] I have used most brands of brass but that said I have a 5 shot group here in 308 using RP brass which measured .312" which is not too shabby. Now I also use Lapua brass most of the time as it's quality and uniformity is hard to beat, but it's not cheap, the Lapua brass with same loads has shot so close to being the same, it is the same, it seems to matter when using the same brass, do not mix different brands in the same load batches. FYI that 308 load was with 44g AR2206H powder, Fed 210 primers, and Nosler Custom Comp 155g HPBT pills, not bad at .312" (5 shot group). Winchester brass measures up fine but is probably the softer in most pistol calibers, a simple check is to drop each brand from the same height onto a hard surface and listen to the differences which shows the higher density of the brass among the different brands some will sound like they are aluminium and others sound like good brass.
