.223 brass

i have a stupid question cuz i'm a noob. but why does the brass matter for accuracy? i thought it was all about bullet weight consistency and uniformity and charge consistency and uniformity.

if you properly size the brass and prep the brass, why would it become a factor?

To over simplify it. the projectile starts it's flight path while still in the brass. If you have inconsistencies in the brass, you will have inconsistencies in the bullets flight path. Also, some brass is easier to work than other brass and some holds up longer than others.

HMMM, what if you trim every piece of brass? Id think the thickness varrations, as well as internal case capasity are bigger issues

waht about brass from american eagle by federal?

Federal AE brass is 'FC'.

Here's a photo of a cross-sectioning posted on the National Match forums:



FC brass is notoriously soft and the primer pockets loosen quickly.

I think these would fall under "inconsistencies", Don't you?
