What is the most desireable headstamp to reload?

[chbrow10]

I know there are some headstamps that are not represented, but please choose from the below choices. If it matters, this is for 45 ACP

 

[Chief-7700]

You left a major player off your poll Winchester. So my vote is none of the above.

I agree, Winchester is my preferred brass in this caliber, with Federal second. I voted for Federal, but my first choice would have been Winchester.

I load it all for plinking ammunition, though.

Hope this helps.

You can sort brass by headstamp??? Really???

I guess if I was to do that I like the RP or Win best.

Winchester #1, CCI Blazer Brass #2

Winchester, oh wait, umm Federal!

 

[Ky Larry]

I pick up a lot of Lake City .223 brass at my local range. I like Win and FC also.

 

[chbrow10]

Winchester isn't there on purpose

I like Winchester too, that's why it isn't on the list. I'm going to be selling some brass, and I'd like to know where to start. I'm keeping my winchester, since that I what I am loading now.

 

[MaterDei]

I'm fine with all of them. Winchester too!

I vote for Starline

I would have to say WCC as I have a 5 gal. bucket full (Winchester). But I also have some FC96,97,98, military contract brass, and a few boxes of loaded military ammo from the same contract.

 

[The Bushmaster]

All of the above plus Winchester (my favorite)...

 

[LCTitan]

For me Winchester is the best for reloading not only 45ACP but 9mm and 40SW as well.

 

[XD-40 Shooter]

I've been reloading mixed brass in 40 S&W for a couple years now, Speer, Federal, Winchester, Remington, Fiocchi, I can't really tell a difference between any of them.

Winchester is my favorite, but on or list my vote goes rem.

I would have to say WCC as I have a 5 gal. bucket full (Winchester). But I also have some FC96,97,98, military contract brass, and a few boxes of loaded military ammo from the same contract.

All 40SW: 3 5gal Winchester, 2 5gal RP, and 2 5gal RP, and one 5gal FC. I just luv working at a range. (I work for BRASS)..

I like the Winchester the most.

 

[Asherdan]

Whichever comes free?

 

[Galil5.56]

Day in and day out, I like Winchester brass for pistol ammo because it's boringly average, uneventful, and just works... No primer pocket sizing drama, no goofy rim dimensions, not short/thin like RP, or "hard" with an almost brittle feel I have had with Federal... WW brass reloads easy, and lasts a long time. I still use WCC .45 match brass that has the headstamp nearly worn off, and it reloads smooth as butter, like my other WW brass.

 

[Bozo]

My vote would be for the free ones.

 

[TAB]

In these parts if you can find a piece of 45 acp brass, your lucky... we have fairys or trolls that collect them before then hit the ground.

 

[atblis]

Lapua

 

[jjohnson]

Winchester.

Well... are you going to re-do the poll? :banghead:Winchester's my choice.

 

[Trekbike]

+1 on the Winchester

Why do a poll if you're going to slant the results?

 

[Master Blaster]

The only brass I have veer had a problem with was federal, and it was one particular batch whcih was from LEO practice ammo. They just would not resize right, so I tossed the 150 or so cases.
RP is probably the most durrable and trouble free in .45 acp. I have thousands, many reloaded 14 times with no split cases or problems.
