If your looking for brass that is consistent and able to take several reloads get some nosler brass, expensive but you do get what you pay for or if you have $ to spend go with Lapua

Years ago someone on here had a bunch of RWS brass in 300 win mag. I bought 100 I think, wish I had bought more. I have loaded it a bunch of times with no problems. I think it depends on caliber as to who makes the best. I keep looking for more of the RWS in 300 but have a hard time parting with the money they want for it. I’m getting more serious about stretching out the targets so they might get my $$

Starline may not work for long range precision competition but it does last pretty good and certainly accurate enough for what most of us do. Winchester will work but its at the bottom IMO.

Eric Cortana shot a verified 3/4 inch group at 1000 yards using lapua brass and berger bullets. He makes (and sells) his own reloading dies. Has a lot of videos out on handloading and building competition guns.

Appreciate the input from you all. Just due to availability, it looks like it's going to be Starline. Thanks again.

Depending on what kind you are looking for petersen cartridge makes exceptional rifle brass, although pricey

My first look is always Lapua, Norma works for my 7mm Weatherby, but soft. Starline and Sig are both pretty good brass on the cheap. I avoid Nosler as I think it is way overpriced for what it is. I have s 100 pcs of Peterson for my 284 and it is on its 4th reloading and holding up well.

Hornady and others as a last resort.

Have bought Winchester brass for 30 years. Never a problem.


swampgas chili and schmidt beer makes for a deadly combo

Norma brass is pretty good stuff.

For military calibers, IMI is tough to beat. Not pretty to look at as they don't polish it and you can see the annealing area etc. But it holds up well . For everything else. Lapua and Norma are right up there IMHO .. I have never tried Peterson so can't comment on that
