Thread: Probably a silly question...

Is there going to be any difference using two different types of cases in a batch of rounds? I've got 100 normandy and 20 federal. Just wondering if I can mix them up.

Maybe

No such thing as a silly question only a silly answer
what do you mean by batch are they a mix of case manufactures I know you have federal what is the other make

Yes between different brands of case there will be differences in case capacity. So it's best to use the same brand of case for your loads

Depends on what for, the cartridge and the load IMHO. If you are shooting at the min powder and fairly short range ie under 300m and say a 308winchester I doubt you would notice the difference frankly. For instance Ive shot Winchester, S&B and then 1943 brass in batches of 10~12 with the same load (38gr 2208) in the same 303 Enfield at 300m and didnt see any difference in height/drop, even at 500yds at target shooting. So for hunting?

I'd expect Federal to be thinner (the thinnest?) and hence a wee bit slower than the Norma. Im hoping the NI crony will become available shortly and I will do some testing with the above plus some privy.
