Default Most Reloadable Brass

Hey guys,

I'm looking to by 300WM brass. What is the most reloadable brand, in terms of the number of times I can reload them if I'm going to follow the book with low charge loads?

Thanks for fielding all of these questions.

Tom

Not federal, thats for sure. But I like federal. The primer pockets can be loose way before the neck rips.

I would say winchester. I suggest annealing at 4 reloadings however. The neck can get hardened. You don't have too, but it might extend the life to 6-7 reloadings. I have had good luck with high powered STW loads with winchester.

I hate remington's quality but I even got 5 or so reloadings out of 300RUM brass too.

If you keep pressures low, you can load good brass almost forever! I've got some R-P and some Norma 7X57mm cases that I've loaded over 25 times, starting around 1976, and it still seems OK......
