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.
