Thread: preferred brass brands

I really want to try some Alpha! It appears to be cheaper, more durable and more consistent than Lapua in the US (it is US made rather than imported for them though). If someone can import it for Lapua or less pricing i'll be using that for my precision loads.

I am not a target shooter, and must admit to being a bit in the dark about different brass myself. I sort brass into different makers because I know that different brands can vary in capacity and resulting load velocity. From your comments Oli1102 am I to think that some brands actually produce better accuracy than others as well as the better reload life that quality brass has ???
