[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1667389, member: 10755"] I wiil say this, most brands have had their issues, but ONE I have rarely had issues with is Lapua. Winchester make good brass, although culling around 10% per 50 is disappointing, the web thickness makes their brass tough. Norna make very good brass, BUT it is soft and primer pockets open in short order. Remington brass is also good, has thick walls and thinner webs, not as thin aa Norma though. I steer clear of Hornady in most cases (excuse the pun) but in 416 Rigby it is fine. I will not use Federal EVER, EVEN IF FREE. Have had 2 case ruptures and blown primers with this brass and even a locked bolt on 1 occasion. Simply far too soft to reload, even factory ammo was blowing primers in a 300WM. I have Frontier brass that is very good, but hard to find. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
