Wow that’s some poor quality control. Pretty hard to get a consistent velocity I’d think.RL338":31xulajz said:Winchester’s new oval primer pockets will set the shooting world on fire. :lol:
NOT what a joke. Since switching their bags from the blue and white to this red and black , it has been nothing but junk. I loved the old brass, but now it is so disappointing.

A few days ago I was shooting my Creedmoor (which is a production rifle) with a tailored handload in Lapua brass with the small primer pocket. It was the 7th reload on that brass with no annealing. I shot a 1.14" group followed by a .77" group at 400yds. It takes pulling everything together to get groups like that but the brass is no small part of it. The fact that I just reloaded it for the 8th time makes the Lapua brass a bargain.
Now when will Lapua start producing some 6.5 PRC brass? Hmmmmmm
And 6mm Remington brass damn it.Charlie-NY":1mlujlw1 said:High quality brass is well worth the money if you are shooting an accurate rifle.

I also wonder just how much the difference in accuracy, if any would make a difference in a hunting load. Probably of more importance might be how many angels can dance in the point of a pin? :roll:
Might be the grounds for a project. Take brass with centrally located flash hole and brass with the offending problems and see just how much, if any difference there might be.

Starline Brass started making 30/06 shells last year. I would look at them for future brass at decent prices.RL338":16csjfrz said:I picked this bag up for $20 , didn’t think of it. My 30-06 is not a precision rifle by no means. It is what I call my “rain gun” hunt in the rain with it. This brass will work fine in replacing the Remington brass I’m using now. Winchester brass has always worked well for me and it has just more capacity per given cartridge. The worst I ever seen was years back my brother gave me 2 boxes of Federal 30-30 brass to reload for him. The flash hole were off center breaking 2 depriming pins before I tossed them.
