[QUOTE="demonjigger, post: 2058451, member: 100971"] I use Winchester brass in my SLR. I've had a couple brand new cases I've had to throw away because they had significant defects and were totally unusable. But I have 300 cases prepped for it. And I'm not bench rest shooting either. If I was I'd use Lapua. For the most part accuracy wise, I can't tell the difference between totally prepped Winchester brass and Lapua brass. I've shot .25" groups with Winchester. I like using the less expensive Winchester brass in competitions where I'm likely to lose some. And it's about 2/3 the cost. Lapua brass is pretty much load and shoot. The only thing I might do is run a mandrel in on the first loading. Also the primer pockets are really strong with Lapua meaning more reloads. So if you're looking for ultra accuracy you might as well start with quality brass. My budget and application keeps me from using it in everything. [/QUOTE]
