Subject; .45ACP

I just noticed that CCI cases have a much larger Flash hole than Winchester.
Anyone noticed a differance when reloading ?
Which is better Brass ?

Win
Rem
CCI

I believe the new Winchester are NT, and have a small primer pocket. I always pick them up at the range, brass is brass. When I have several coffee cans full, I will reload them.

Winchester NT is their "indoor training" ammo and uses small pistol primers.
For match ammo, I just pick a headstamp (currently using Federal) for consistency and use everything else for practice ammo. Does it make a difference? Probably not, but it makes me feel better. One difference I have noticed is the Winchester brass seems to have slightly tighter primer pockets, but I've never had issues with either CCI or Winchester brass.

Federal has large flash holes too. Flash hole size has nothing to do with quality.

Anyone use Remington Brass for the .45 ACP

[J-cat]

I do.

I don't pick up CCI brass. It just looks bad. I like starline,maybe cause I bought 1000 a while back. My stash has a bit of everything in it... some headstamps are worn smooth.
