[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1303934, member: 2736"] Yes. Different company's use different alloys to make there cases . some alloys work best for durability and some are easier to form/size. (Softer) There is a near perfect alloy that will get you both advantages but most cases are to hard or to soft. it appears that Lapua has the best alloy and the best design (Another reason it last longer than most cases). I have had good luck with Remington in the past but with the current shortages most case manufactures don't seem to care about the quality. DWM was the best brass I ever used and Lapua is not far behind it. the softest brass I ever found was the Winchester and the hardest was federal (At one time they made Nosler brass).and I only got several loadings before they started to split at the neck shoulder junction. Also another problem that has appeared lately is that most of the newly manufactured brass does not have a final annealing. Now I buy only brass that still has annealing marks on it.
