    Winchester 30-06 brass

    I am a strong advocate for Win Brass because of the great powder capacity it has. But have to say I have not bought any in probably 10 years. I stocked up heavily during Obama years. I even have some virgin 92 Palma Match brass made by WW. I use a lot of M852 1971 brass with 748 @ 44.0 with...
