30-06 brass brands

[handirifle]

Besides Lapua brass, which always gets rave reviews, but I cannot afford it, so what other brands are usually pretty consistant in weight, thickness, dependability etc?

Handi - We're in the same boat with that subject. I'd love to have a full compliment of Lapua products but....

I already have a mortgage. That stuff is expensive$$$$$$$$

I have a bunch of Hornady brass that I found in the brass can at my local range. Someone apparently has too much money & threw out 34 pieces of 30.06 brass.

I find it to be real consistant with neck thickness & weight per case. I believe it's a little cheaper, too.
My favorite for general purpose has been Federal. Remingtom runs a very close second but, consistancy for both can have quite a spread.
I'm sure you'll find something suitable that will fit the bill. Gotta go. I need to be early at the range to get my favorite lane.

I like the quality of Winchester brass over RP or Federal. Price is usually a bit cheaper for the Winchester too.

LC surplus is good to but not as cheap as it once was.

OK Winchester or Hornady, both sound good. Notice much difference in capacity compared to the R P or Federal, which is what I usually end up with?

Have still some FA60 Match BEST brass ever had, still have 100 rounds in 20 boxes of FA60 match

I find the Hornady will hold a greater charge comfortably compared to Rem or Fed brass. Especially with neck sizing only.

OK thanks for the info.

LC 62 and 68 Match is excellent brass too.

Sorry for my ignorance, but what is LC 62?
