    Thank you, but I have always been aware of this from a simple hunting perspective. I'm trying to increase the knowledge of the community and help others find better ways of doing things, particularly...

    Are you looking for brass life as “best quality” ? I got at least half a dozen loads from 303 Norma brass and it was still going strong. In the 7mm08 it did a good dozen before any failures at all....

    The most compelling evidence available suggests that annealing is good for your brass life and makes no difference detectable on target for precision or velocity consistency. The guy selling a $3000...

    Depending on what rifle, bullet, and range you're shooting, and how you measure precision or consistency - you may not see any real improvement in actual results on target with premium brass. You...

    If you’ve got a good recipe already, don’t change the incredients! Lapua is definitely the king ��

    JoshBadger liked post by LJP On thread : Best brass for relaoding
    Lapua is always the first mentioned for good reason..... however the ADG stuff is as good if not better. Super consistent weight & neck uniformity. Lapua, ADG, Peterson always the first choices...

    I have found RWS and DKW to be very good brands, at least as good as Norma, if not better.

    JoshBadger liked post by Rated M for Magnum On thread : Best brass for relaoding
    Sticking to one brand eliminates a variable. There can be large differences in alloys used giving different neck tensions, spring back, sizing force. If later on your want to anneal, then you don't...

    JoshBadger liked post by lau lau On thread : Best brass for relaoding
    I reload for a few different rifles. My comp rifles use lapua, Petersen and Norma without any issues and plenty of reloads. My hunting rifles run mostly starline, which isn't too costly when you...

    JoshBadger liked post by Zedrex On thread : .243 load development part deux
