This is an unfounded bitch fest. ADG is great brass, saying you won't reach velocity based on no evidence whatsoever is stupid. Brass prep? Lapua doesn't prep their brass either, why waste time as a company preping brass when everyone preps their brass differently?

i've used winchester for 40 + years. i've read ppu has good brass, but haven't tried any in my 7-08. adg brass at the time is all i could find for my 7saum, but haven't used any of it yet either. brass i mainly have for nearly all calibers and cartridges i have is hornady. i did get a great buy on norma 264wm brass as my 40 yo win brass i've reloaded over 24 times might be on it's last leg? the norma brass i have for 6.5prc seems to be good. the only lapua brass i have is in 338lm to try against the imi brass in same cartridge. i don't have any complaints against any of the brands on brass i have on hand so far.
Ideal would be the brass with the most weight and capacity, but generally the heaviest brass has lower capacity, like Peterson. So you must back down charge weight by 1-2grs and either get same velocity as a larger capacity case, or under depending on where the peak pressure comes with the different burn rates of powders.
Also, brass composition differences, or simply put, different brands of brass can have different POI loaded with same powder & bullet. The different compositions must flow to fit chamber at different rates.

The reason for this is volume/case capacity.... different burn rates....

I've only run ADG in one cartridge, 7mag. After loading it. I think it's great stuff. I will be buying more for sure.
ADG brass is just fine in my book. I have only had one piece in 8 boxed that was really beat up. Loads all seemed fine. I bought a box of Nosler Brass 2 years ago for my 280 AI and it came really beat up. Called them and they only replaced half of what was trashed. Better than nothing I guess but this stuff should of never made it past a quality inspection.
