[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 1209550, member: 74902"] Here's a great little article on the subject. gets into the metallurgy of it a bit. Easy to draw some conclusions from it. [url=http://bulletin.accurateshooter.com/2011/09/cartridge-brass-alloys-revealed-by-x-ray-spectrometers/]Cartridge Brass Alloys Revealed by X-Ray Spectrometers « Daily Bulletin[/url] As far as the thickest, that is something to be aware of but hard to measure. It is usually determined by case weight and or capacity measure by water weight it holds. I do not know of a definitive list of this across all manufacturers. It is commonly know that some brands tend to the thinner. I know my Winchester 300 WSM brass is thinner and has more case capacity than my Norma brass. This can affect the load somewhat. That is why we all rework loads if we change brass types. This might even happen across different lots of brass from the same brand. [/QUOTE]
