[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 2059021, member: 87243"] As far as accuracy, well prepped and sorted winchester brass will be just as good, however I like to have about 300 pieces if I want 100 good consistent cases, and a couple more groups of 50 or so consistent cases. Where Lapua, Peterson, ADG, Alpha and other top brass companies really step ahead is the strength department. With winchester and Federal brass in my .260ai, I had about 5% get cracks in the neck or shoulder by the 3rd formed firing. I got 12+ firings out of my Lapua brass and finally started loosing primer pockets in a few of them, but never lost a single piece prior to that. I still have 90 or so of my original 100 Lapua brass, but switched over to Peterson srp brass. I'm around my 5th firing, no issues and the pockets still feel new. [/QUOTE]
