You can pick your friends, and you can pick your brass, but you can't pick your friends brass......

I'd try to find Winchester, Remington, or Federal. If you can't, then I'd get whatever's the cheapest of the 3 you mentioned.

I shoot Federal in my 06, but Win, RP, etc will work. I have loaded mixed and saw no difference at the range. All have had multiple loadings.


Good Shooting!

I would need your kind of income to afford the 'pua


$1-$1.50/ea seems like a lot of dough for brass..... until you're still shooting it 10 years later. Lapua brass is tough schitt.... the only way you typically lose one.... is by losing it.


I haven't shot much of it, but the Lapua brass I do have my little fingers on, was given to me by a forum member, who said he couldn't remember if he shot it 30 or 40 times...

it was 308, which I necked down to 7/08... of which I have shot another 30 times....anneal it every forth time.... but it just keeps on truckin....

the way things are hard to get, lasting is a good selling feature...

I have tons of Remington 06 brass, but it doesn't have the life span of Lapua.. or even the Winchester 06 brass I have a fair amount of...

most of the Remington is once fired factory stuff before it came my way to reload...

Hornady brass... I'm not overly impressed with, regardless of caliber...

I must admit, on first glance at the title, I thought it said,

"You pick my new Bras."

I threw a digit out of joint trying to click it.
