What is your favorite brass?

[Dirtlaw]

A question better phrased than the one I asked before.

What caliber ?

Free 5.56 LC once fired brass picked off Wilcox range at Pendleton wasn't a bad deal.

Putting expensive brass through an AK that chewed it up not a good deal.

Whatever is your favorite. Not sure it matters.

For precision rifle: Peterson. They are America's Lapua but better, in my opinion. Wish they made 6GT brass, maybe they will soon.

I've heard so many good things about Peterson. The company is definitely on my radar.

Free brass.

Starline is well priced and consistent, maybe not the best but better than most

Lake City National Match (NM marked head stamp) 7.62x51mm for my M1A's .30 Government for the M1 Garands, long lasting Energizer Bunny of mag-fed, semi-auto brass and very consistent.

Lapua for the 6.5x47 and .308 Win. Palma, both use small rifle primers

Starline and Federal for plinking ammo

I'm going to bite. I'm trying Petersen.

My *favorite* brass? Range pickups, in my case. At my range, almost nobody reloads, so the brass is virtually guaranteed to be once-fired. I love it.

If I had to buy brass? For handgun, it's Starline first, followed by Winchester. For rifle, it's Lapua. I haven't tried Peterson brass just yet, though once I get through my Lapua brass, I might give it a shot...so to speak. :-)

You will not be disappointed. I have peterson in 408, 308, 300 winmag, and 6xc
Never an issue.

[kcstott]

If Peterson makes it that’s first choice.
Then Lapua
For really good but not match grade it’s Starline.
Then of course there’s range pickup which is not bad either.

[C.G.]

Haven't tried Peterson, but Lapua is my go-to.

[SharedShots]

For me, caliber doesn't matter as much as which rifle:

For 300 BO my own once fired (AR)

For 6.5 Grendel - Lapua since its been the easiest to get, doesn't matter the rifle the AR or bolt. AR fired doesn't go in the bolt gun though.

For AR in 223/5.56 - my own once fired factory, just sorted by brand

Bolt in 308/7mm-08 - LC Match. I use the LC as is and also to make the 7mm-08

5.7x28. Range pickup since it's all once fired from factory.

For pistols, I packed away thousands of 9mm/40/45 and 9mm Ultra Geco 5 moves ago and forgot about them. Rediscovered, what I use for handgun now. All of it was my own once fired and reloaded maybe 3 times.
