Most of the time, I don't give 2 rats ass about the brand of brass i use to reload. i only need to hit a groundhog out to 600 yards and so far i haven't hand a problem doing that with my loads.
recently, I've decided to dig deeper into brass processing. covid shutdowns has it's positive sides i suppose right?
without spending more money, i have a few choices of brass manufactures. If i were to be anal about the brass, what am i looking for?
At the end of the day the end result is the desire for ammo that can hit a 6x18 target (or 18x6 depending on standing/laying down) at 600 yards. Beyond that is just bragging rights i suppose.
Without getting into annealing or turning necks, what is there to look for in a piece of brass. The most I've done so far is size, trim then sort by weight. Selecting the brass that's within a couple grains of each other with the assumption they are "close enough for my needs".
I use brand X in 22-250 and 300 win mag. I get mixed but still "good" results when i change brass manufactures.
