[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 2264906, member: 48043"] Older ww brass was actually pretty good stuff... I have some pre 2004 7mmstw brass that'll run multiple firings full throttle with a 140, turn in sub 1/2moa with no case work, and need little trimming and hold it's pockets ( I've had Bertram 7stw blow above the belt on the second firing). newer ww 300 win was decent in the pockets but length varied enough that I had to trim rather short just to get close to a uniform length. I've been running Hornady brass in 7rem, 300win, 405, and 6.5 creed. It seems to hold a decent group and survive full pressure rather well. A lot of the issues with earlier Hornady brass were incorrect annealing imo. A lot of the 338 guys were eating hdy 338Lapua brass 1st or second firing; it stings when you are blowing out a couple buck a hull brass out at first at bat. The hornady brass I've seen recently would rate close to Nosler in average quality but not quite as uniform. WW brass would be possibly a bit lower quality but still plenty serviceable for field brass. I've got mostly ww, rem, and hornady with some fed (lc) brass in the AR stash. I have very little bertram, nos, or a-square brass. [/QUOTE]
