Winchester seems to be the most consistant in thickness and weight and also has more capacity then remington and gives you a little more slack when nearing maximum loads, Federals are fine just dont have the best loading life span. Ive found remingtons to last the longest and winchesters fall in between federal and remington. I use them all, but prefer winchester for rifle loads and remington for pistol loads.

w-w cases in rifles.bulk brass seems to be more uniform in dimensions and neck wall thickness. cant beat the price for being readily available .

On FC brass, FWIW don't use it in 223. Thats the biggest junk I"ve ever seen. In other calibers it seems just fine.
