[QUOTE="PddPdd, post: 2676033, member: 111799"] I believe it comes down primarily to brass case volume. The more the case volume varies between brass brands the more likely you will not get the same velocity or accuracy when switching between brass brands with a given bullet/powder load/primer combination. The case volume in a given chamber will primarily be affected by the brass thickness which is controlled by the brass manufacturers machines and process control. I've seen 2 grains of capacity difference between Winchester and Petersen brass in 7-08. I had to re-develop a new load when making the brass switch to go from 2 MOA back to .5 MOA. If you have the time. bullets, powder, primers and brass quantities to develop different loads to deal with significant variances in brass brand/case volume, you can make it work but the component cost is greater in my opinion that buying and developing loads with one brand of brass. I'll let others who have used more brands of brass than I, provide their opinion on quality of brass by brand. [/QUOTE]
