[QUOTE="19elkhunter51, post: 1667653, member: 14169"] I think you have made your decision. I believe, IMHO, that any of the mentioned manufacturers brass will do for your hunting demands. You stated that these are hunting rifles, not two mile long range launchers. When you need to wring out every last possible degree of accuracy, then the brass becomes an issue. You also stated that you were not going to shot thousands of rounds. The astronomically priced brass may last longer but only if you intend to shoot 600 rounds in a weekend, month after month. I will say that most of my shooting has been done with off the shelf once fired commercial brass, meaning I purchased factory ammo and used the cases to reload. As I proceeded to shoot more I purchased virgin brass. I am not a long range launcher but I am really interested in small groups. I don't weigh the brass or measured capacity. I do the things that get the best mileage for the work that allows me to get a good group. Most of my rifles shoot way under an inch at a hundred yards and I have three or four that shoot less than a half inch at a hundred yards. This in my mind is quiet sufficient for "hunting" accuracy. When you purchase virgin brass there may be some prep work that you will need to perform. Some of that prep work will be required every time you reload a case. None of the minor prep work on virgin cases is abusive or technical. Don't put yourself behind the curve trying to follow all of the multitude of operations long or benchrest shooter follow. As you become more astute in your reloading procedures you can pick and chose which of little operations you may want to try to gain a minor amount of accuracy. More important than anything else is enjoy the process of reloading. Enjoy the fact that when you pull the trigger you know that you made that round that harvested your trophy. [/QUOTE]
