Starline brass worth the cost??

First, I don't need more 348 brass (I've got 400 once, twice, three times brass and just got an annealer). I have annealed and loaded 50 with my fancy smancy annealer and ,by george (who the heck is George), it seems to make a difference. I just found some Starline 348Win brass at half the price it was going for a year ago. I have a Win71/348Win reflex that I am trying to fight. That reflex says if you find anything related to 348Win/Win71 at a good price, buy it or you'll regret it later!
So is the Starline brass appreciably better than my WW brass? I use Lapua for my long distance rifles and my dedicated hunting rifle. But for my 1.5" grouping at it's best 348Win ammo, used in 200yd shot max rifles, I doubt it's worth the toll.... maybe spend the money on hunting camp celebration cognac instead, eh? (Alcohol consumed in camp only AFTER, game down/bagged, rifles stored except camp bear gun,ok?

Tough call…
Now that you can anneal your 400 cases, you have some life left there for awhile.
How much do you shoot your 348? Or plan on shooting it?
This would be the determining factor for me.
If you shoot it a lot, or plan on shooting it more, then grab the brass while it is available.
If not, use the funds to ensure you have enough bullets to load in your brass to keep you going.

@kujuak, by george (who the heck is George), glad you asked. It is a very old euphemism used to show surprise, wonder or agreement without taking the Lord's name in vain. Now, you can sleep better tonight! LOL

I use Starline all the time.
I like it.
I find it a step above Nosler brass, which I feel is a little better than Hornady.
I haven’t bought brass in about six years, so I’m not sure the prices anymore, but Starline makes a good case especially for the price point.
If you’re getting it at half price I would suggest getting it
