How much of that is due to sponsorship.?
Very little, if any, from what I have seen in the case of brass.
Brass is cheap, even expensive brass, in the grand scheme of PRS competition and missing targets is NOT cheap. Even if we get it for free, if there was a significant difference, nobody would shoot anything but the ONE brass which worked best. Nobody wants to drop points at a match - so saving $200 per year (less than 1 match fee) to save on brass doesn’t make much sense.
The stats for optics or stocks are widely skewed by sponsorships and sponsor support (guys win scopes and donate or sell them to other shooters, and Vortex absolutely floods pride tables - thankfully). Action stats are also kinda skewed by sponsorships (not as much and not in the ways you’d think). But not really brass. Brass just doesn’t cost enough to skew guys over and missing DOES cost enough.
