Best brass?

Throw them out??? - put them on trademe as "once fired". Why the heck anyone risks this I have no idea

That winchester brass was once fired factory ammo, cant remember what projectile tho.

I bought 100 winchester brass for my 223 instead so it was all the same, it shot ok - not awesome tho, but I had a 1:12 so had to shoot vmax so it may have been the projectile.

If you have the money, Lapua is my pick, I never had any luck with Norma in any calibre.

But, to save money, weight sorting winchester is probably pretty good too.

dont seem to have many winchester when i went through it after it got cleaned, think its all loaded up lol. got heaps of remington and a decent batch of hornady. going to start with the 70 of PPU since that seems a more managable number! just got to sort with farmer when i can go have a play!

Have had no problems reloading Hornady .223 training rounds a few times, both PPU and ADI cases have had neck splits :-(

My philosophy is cost vs accuracy vs intended use. I'll use some Lapua for target comp but Hornady for rabbits, so I won't cry myself to sleep if I lose some brass on the farm hills. Mind you, I haven't noticed a huge difference between the Lapua and Hornady for 223, but it's probably just as much me and my shooting !
