WRONG...you couldn't be more wrong if you tried! Brass is NOT brass..it is so varied that it's not even funny...one load in one brand may cause pressure problems gallore in another brand. The internal and external thicknesses are usually as different as night and day....there sometimes are differences in one brand of brass from the same company with different lot numbers. As a competition/benchrest shooter for many years, I've certainly seen the results of such a thought and it is dead wrong to think that ALL BRASS is the SAME..it is "NOT".
I AGREE whole heartedly. Brass is not all them same!!!!Besides what has been said,different manufact.will have different volumes to them as well,which creates different problems and or results. vangunsmith
I'm new to reloading, but in a Nosler reloading book I have somewhere, there is a pic of different manufacturers cases cut away to see wall thicknesses. You can decisively see how the case brass thickness can vary greatly from one manufacturer to another and have different interior voulume measure..
