[QUOTE="greenejc, post: 1702411, member: 60453"] yep, I have a friend who volunteers at a commercial range run by MWR and he collects once-fired brass for me in several calibers. I separate, inspect, trim, size and sort it, and then reload it. I've been able to compare several manufacturers this way, in several rifle calibers. Believe it or not, the best brass so far has been Nosler, Remington and Hornaday in .308 and 30-06. In 300 WinMag, Sig, Nosler and Remington take top honors. They produce the most accurate loads, are the most durable and last the longest. I currently have several 5qt containers of 30-06 and .308 brass, sized, trimmed and primed. I don't have a 270 Winchester, but the 270 brass makes great 25-06 brass by just running it through an RCBS sizing die and trimming it to length. My Ruger No1 Varmint likes any of this brass, regardless of the brand, but again, the same brands listed above give best accuracy and consistent velocities. I get a lot of new brass from range sweepings. By the way, I don't mind Winchester brass or Federal brass at all. But Winchester will crack at the neck after three or four reloads, and Federal is a little soft, so near-maximum loads will sometimes spread the primer pockets on this brass. I still load and shoot them, because the brass is free. Oh, and I'm cheap, cheap, cheap. [/QUOTE]
