Cal?
6.5 creedmoor
I wouldn't, because I find their brass highly over-priced for the quality. But someone might buy it for that on the yellow site.
what brass do u recommend? the reason why is, i brought hornady brass for that price.
Lapua or Norma, get Lapua from Belmont ammo.Quote:

You save a lot of time and effort getting the right brass the first time.
Getting shitty brass will just get you more work to do and more frustration if you didn't get lucky.
But if punching touching holes is not what you are aiming for or you know your rifle is not that accurate anyway, then get the cheapest brass available and pray for your luck.
Completely agree. It stings to buy a box, but my first batch has been fired 11 times so far and is in good Nick.Quote:

50 cents each or amber fluid equivalent for non premium once fired.
Peterson brass is also top notch and at least the equal of Lapua if not slightly better.
Good to know.Quote:

No I don't as the primer pockets give up first.Quote:

Isn't PPU Privi brass supposed to be quite good? I've read that in a few places that their finished bullets are nothing special, even dirty, but their brass is strong.
Yes, a friend put me into PPU where it’s very nice brass to work with where I like it just as much as my Lapua brass I run on another calibre.Quote:

Lapua or peterson is all if buy for the creedmoor
I got given some once fired hornady 243 brass a while back
And will run that in the old 243 now I prepared it seems like ok brass now but it was all over the place I annealed uniformed the primer pockets massive Variances there and trimed it all upto 20 thou in Variances there
Now it’s all to the best of my Capabilities it seems ok
But im glad I didn’t buy it
Would of never had to do all that to lapua
As a side question goggle who makes Hornady brass. Some interesting reading. Looks like a lot is subcontracted out.
