Hi all, as the header says I'm a reloading newbie, having just acquired a used Dillon Square Deal B set up for .45 ACP. Along with the press came 1000 rounds of mixed .45 fired brass, which I have been sorting by headstamp. Most of the brass is marked Federal, R-P, PMC, S&B, Winchester, WCC, and WCC Match, with lesser numbers of Speer and other miscellaneous brands.
I have a couple of questions. Firstly, while most of the headstamps are pretty self explanatory, can I assume that R-P is Remington brass and WCC is a version of Winchester brass? Secondly, does anyone have any recommendations of which is the better brass for precision reloading, which is ok for casual plinking, and which should be avoided altogether?
Thanks for the help,
Nonq
P.s. A friend advised that any A Merc brass should be destroyed on sight, actually he said "Kill it before it reproduces!" And this perhaps makes sense as I've heard bad things about that brand from the factory.
