I like Lapua, Hardly ever have to mess with it. Next would be norma for me.

    I generally use Starline. Most of my loading is handgun calibers.

    I use Winchester for handguns, Due to cost and availability.
    I`ll have to check the spelling on that one!

    Winchester in the .41 Mag. Remington is too soft.

    Good luck out there.

    For my pistol stuff, I used once fired commercial brass since I go through about 15K a year easily.

    For my 308 I am using federal gold medal brass, and winchester. Will have to try Lapua once I find a load for my rifle, see if that nice expensive brass is really worth it.

    Federal Gold Medal, but gradually switching to Black Hills Match for my .308.

    Both are high quality.

    I like the Norma when I can get it in the caliber I'm loading.Franc, I've never used Lapua, how does it compare with the Norma?

    Anything except Remington, never had consistent results with it. Federal is probably the favorite for rifle, winchester for pistol.

    Use Remington for everything it is available in; use Winchester for 358 and 38-55 only because Remington does not make any presently. If I run out of Remington then Federal is my second choice. Have had problems with Starline handgun brass with primer pockets too shallow.

    NORMA and IMI....LAPUA is supposed to be good.
    Remington does fine on my hunting loads. Winchester
    does just as well for HUNTING loads. Bullets....now
    that's another matter!

    ruger270man,..here is some hunting and non lapua/norma match brass. This is where I will dig and find some load developement brass of hunting brass. All brass can be uniformed pretty tight if you take the time.[;)]

    Just a warning,stay away from PMC brass. Found a good deal(I thought)on new brass and had to throw almost half away because the flash holes were off center. I guess you get what you pay for.

    Remmington for my 7.62x39
    Starline or Remmington for my 44 Magnum
    Whatever I have in stock for others.
