Thread: Mixed Headstamp brass in 270 - performance differences

Hi team, after eyeballing the calibre for several years, I find myself moving in to 270Win territory. My main interest is hunting and yes, I know, sticking to a single headstamp in brass delivers best results, Lapua if you can get/afford it, whatever you can put your hands on otherwise.

When I started in 7x57mm Mauser I used multiple fired mixed headstamp brass originally from factory ammo but acquired for nothing or not very much from blokes with no further use for it (a whole while ago now). Not being a match grade shooter, I had no discernable issues developing hunting loads with it. Eventually I did acquire some nice Norma and even a small bunch of Lapua. Which tends to sit in my drawer getting looked at occasionally while I keep loading hunting rounds in stuff I don't mind loosing so much in the bush in the heat of the moment. I'm sure I'll get to the nice stuff in the days my legs get less willing to cart me around the hills.

In the meantime, I'm expecting a big case like the 270W will be even less finicky about mixed headstamp - for getting-going and hunting duty.

As I'm about to go on the scrounge for some cheaper-than-Lapua 270 brass, what considered opinions are there out there on useful, not so useful brands?
