[QUOTE="boomtube, post: 300037, member: 9215"] There ARE differences in brands of cases but I have to smile - if not laugh - at some of what I read on the net about what's "best" and what's "junk". I've been doing this for nearing fifty years and find about as much difference in brass lots of the same brand as between brands. ALL of it's good, none is junk, not even the worst of it. Some lots do need more work and will have a slightly greater cull rate but that varies too much to draw a straight line by brand. Paying a buck or more per case for Laupua is more an ego gratification thing than for accuracy. (In my none too humble opinion only, of course.) For my most demanding work, I FL size whatever brand I have the most of, trim it to the same length, deburr flash holes, uniform primer pockets and turn necks about 70% before sorting it by weight. It's neck sized until a few exhibt excessive neck pull and then[I] the whole lot gets annealed.[/I] My select cases last a LOOONG time! I do that with ALL brands and get very good service at nominal cost. One thing you can be sure of; no maker has different production lines or standards for selling bulk brass and loaded ammo. Within normal manufactoring tolerances, it will all be as near the same as they can make it.. [/QUOTE]
