[QUOTE="tbrice23, post: 945092, member: 59502"] I've been trying to get enough 300 win mag brass to replace my older 5× shot brass in a few more firings. So far I've acquired 3 lot numbers. I weighed 20 random cases from each lot#. They all were within 4 grains of each other Which is 1.6% of the heaviest cace weighed. The neck thickness average is the same for all lot#s. (I'm not even going to go into the neck thickness variance). I would LOVE to mix all lots but everything I've ever read or told is to keep lots separate. I recently called Winchester (Olin) about this and was told all my lot#s were the same.1hc31 1hc11 1hc41. I ask him if these #s indicated different machines or sheets or days made he told me it was "proprietary"! (Which ****ed me off) and that every piece of brass made since 1970 something has been made from the same recipe of brass which is hard to believe. Should I combine or just be happy I finally have enough to make a useable amount and shut up and start shooting. [/QUOTE]
