More expensive to feed, but worth it.

Hey stop picking on crooked politicians and other thieves.....they are how i earn a living. you see so long as tere are stupid people and trouble ...we in da legal profession do well :mrgreen: FYI...winchester cases are made with Olin brass....Lapau and norma come from the same Swedish brass mill. Remington and Federal come from another mill. The number of brass mills/annealers is very limited. Norma, Lapau and winchester are dimensionally the same + or - .00005 at 70 degrees Remington and federal tend to be larger. I know this because some bench rester told me so...& my chamber is "fitted" that is the sidewall is .001 tighter and the neck is .310.....and remington and fedral will not chamber. But if you want real brass listen to Biden or hillary :roll:

Snake, you left out the important point for gnat's ass shooting. How consistant is the volume of the case? Of course, Most of us can't hold 3 minutes so 1/8 of a minute difference realy doesn't matter.

It would take a legal beagle to chime in the size of the BRASS.

Jerry......you are quite correct. Hence the fuss over consistency in the case weight / dimensions....the theory being if the cases are "consistent" the capacity is likewise. But note...thick and consistent brass still produces higher pressures vis-a-vis the same load in thinner brass. I better Goatru has something to say about this...or is he studying for the medical boards?
