I'm curious to know about the quality of the different brands of brass out there for .308 win, which work the best for accurate reloads?
What's your favorite?
thanks
IDriveB5, our local Sportsman's Warehouse is out of ammo, powder, primers, bullets and everything else. However, last weekend I did find a bag (50 count) of Winchester .308 brass for $17.98.
I'm currently working my way through 200 new Lapua cases, casings whatever ...
Min weight: 172.6 grains
Max weight: 174.4 grains
ES: 1.8 grains
SD: 0.49 grains
Since the difference between the lightest and heaviest case is only 1.8 grains (approx. 1%) I'm not bothering to sort them by weight and that's worth the extra cost to me.
The difference on target that can be directly attributed to specific brands of cases is so small as to be irrelivant to new shooters. By the time anyone gets enough experiece and skill to see any tiny differences he won't need to ask the web.
Unless you are shooting a match chambered all out competition rifle you will be hard pressed to tell any difference in any match grade to commercial grade brass.
Match type chambers with their tighter tolerences respond better to the tighter standards found in corresponding brass. Then weight segregation, neck turning,flash hole prep,etc. will usually show an improvement, over run of the mill commercial brass .
