    Good quality stuff. A little pricey but worth it if you're looking to develop the "perfect load"....

    For my purposes, Federal does the job. As long as I check concentricty before loading & pressing a bullet in. Remington would be my 2nd favorite.
    I've never had much luck with Winchester brass & that's the one I have the most of...

    Thermaler has it all & he put that photo up to torture you.

    That's the kind of guy he is.

    And just when I was going to tell him to get those loaded up & c'mon down for the weekend. Weather is supposed to perfect for shooting.

    I finally figured out the trick is to find the places that specialize in reload gear--then ask them what their resupply schedule is. It goes without saying that you need to be there or make your call about the time the shipment comes in. I scored my 308 Lapua from EA Brown--but that was kinda of a fluke. The picture above is 6.5 284 norma--a little easier to find since it's not so popular.

    Since you appear to be a glutton for punishment--here's a recent work-up of Swift scirocco II 180 gr atop Lapua 308. : )
