Currently, I only reload Winchester brass for my 45 ACP and 9mm Luger H&K handguns. I was going to buy Starline cases, but was put off by the fact that they cost almost as much as loaded ammunition. . .
I have also saved up quite a bit of Remington brass for those calibers since I had bought many hundreds of rounds of both 45 ACP and 9mm Luger on sale at Dick's a while back, but I've never reloaded any of the Remington brass yet. I've noticed that the case-walls of the Remington 9mm cases are visually and measureably thicker than on the Winchester 9mm Cases (presumably also altering case volume), which I like since my HK USP Compact 9mm has a stepped chamber, and I think the thicker case-walls of the Remington 9mm may be a bit safer. The 45 ACP Remington and 45 ACP Winchester cases visually and measurably appear to have the same case-wall thickness.
Are there any data available to say which brands of brass are the strongest/safest/best quality?
