[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 810744, member: 10291"] I have shot several thousands of 308's using primarily Winchester, Lapua, and Federal Match brass casings, loaded with 175/168 SMK's at 2700 FPS, in four different rifles. My requirement is .25-.5MOA at 300 yards and use them for competition. My experience has been that there is little if any difference between the Lapua and Winchester cases terms of accuracy, ES, runout, and case life. I have experienced run out and case life issues with Federal. Occasionally I get a few Winchester cases that are battered up perhaps due to packaging, but overall, it's worked out very well and it's what I use with excellent results and can save some bucks. I can't say this for all calibers though. I do get better performance out of Lapua brass in many of my other calibers that I shoot. With today's availability issues with brass I would personally hold on to your 308 brass if you plan on doing a lot of shooting. If you decide to sell the Winchesters I'll buy them from you. [/QUOTE]
