Brass differences?

What's the difference between Winchester and W-W brass?
And WCC is Winchester's military brass, right?

    Crimped primer pockets on the WCC brass. I would also add, I don't know if this is the same with the rifle brass, but the 9mm WCC brass seems to be a little thicker then the regular brass.

    Era of manufacture
    Winchester
    Winchester-Western
    and for WCC, again it's the era, and yes it's made under military contract with the "correct" name specified by the military.
    Western Cartridge Company
    Winchester Cartridge Company

    tomh,

    Even though it is all produced by Winchester it is all different. Different factories and different contracts.
    WCC is Winchester military contract brass. It's not as heavy as LC but it is tough brass. I used a bunch of it for my .300 Win Mag. Excellent brass.
