best factory cases for reloading centerfire
 

What are the best factory cases to reload? I was reading something about chronographs and one of the posters said he did not like RP cases. I just loaded about 100 rounds of 308 with RP cases because that is what I had the most of. Any help would be appriciated because I have numerous reloading projects in the near future.
Thx

I have always used Remington Peters cases without any issues, I dont like Winchester cases, I tried Norma, cost more and didnt get any longer case life. I have been loading some Federal cases in my 338 Win mag, they seem to work fine, I got them because when I first got my 338, I couldt find any brass and bought 4 boxes of Federal premium ammo loaded with 225gr Accubonds. My perferd brass is R-P. Just my opinion, i am sure others have different preferences

Lapua, Lapua and Lapua in that order.........:party0007:

Best Brass?
 

This is another "Ford/Chevy" or "Chocolate/Vanilla" debate. Use what you have and make your own determination. I like Chevy,Vanilla, and
RPbrass.
GOOD LUCK and GOOD SHOOTING!!!

For the run of the mill brass Winchester seems to work better for me.

It really depends. I like starline brass for my .45 LC, it seems to hold up better. Winchester for my 338-06, slightly more capacity than some and hard heads. Lake City Arsenal for my 30-06 mostly because I got a lot of it cheap. Hornady for my .416 Rigby because it is 1/2 the price of Norma. For my .45 ACP I pick whaterver is cheap this month, as I use a lower pressure load that doesn't push case capacity. I think that each cartridge and load needs to be evaluated for the use.

..... Yeah... I,ve done a bit of reloading. I tried Rem. brass. Too brittle for me. I've since settled on Win. brass until I find something else. If I go elsewhere, it will be to Lapua.

I've used most brands mentioned. I have had excellent results with LC and RP in my 30/06. I have used Winchester in my .243, but have since switched to Hornady. I use Hornady in my 300 win. mag as well as Nickel plated Win. I don't think there is a perfect brass. Everyone has different results and preferences. Use what you have access to and buy something different if you choose and decide for yourself. CJ

I've had good luck using winchester brass.:)
