[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 327810, member: 13632"] I have used Norma, Remington and Winchester brass for my 270WSM and by far the best brass was the Remington. I found the base of the case was significantly thinning with the Winchester and Norma but the Rem was thinned barely enough to tell. The Win brass made it 8 firings and I had to turn the necks and fix the primer pockets before shooting. The Norma made it 2 firings plus one fireforming then it developed a horrible dougnut in the neck that I have to get a reamer for but I really like the consistancy of it, it still lost accuracy after 2 firings though. The Remington brass made 18 firings, I tryed annealing half of them and there was no life difference between annealing and not. I did turn the necks, the primer pockets are good, very little thinning at base. Most shots fired were hot and I am over working my brass, I need a bump die or something better but it does show how tough some brass is. The Rem brass shoot more consitantly than any other brass, the others I had to really tinker with and watch or I would go from sub MOA to 3MOA. I'm going to order several hundred Rem brass this spring, tune them up and go to work. [/QUOTE]
