For PRS style matches, how much does different headstamps of brass effect accuracy. I'l thinking of running a semi-auto and they tend to shred brass or at least beat i t up fairly regularly (I might run an M1-A--which itself is an inaccurate rifle compared to a bolt or AR platform). I was thinking of just buying some bulk brass, loading and go. Because its PRS, 1 MOA accuracy is fine--its hit or miss and I ain't winning anytime soon. What is the effect of having different brass on your accuracy? Anyone have quantifiable results or studies?

I won’t mix headstamps just because of pressure, especially with a smaller cartridge. 24gr under a 73eldm is perfect in a 16 lake city and puncturing a primer in starfire or IMI or insert whatever here.
Just my .02, the total capacity varies a decent amount brand to brand and it’s much more obvious the smaller the case capacity.

This. My particular .308 is extremely forgiving in point of impact changes very little if I switch brass, but there are velocity variances of up to 80-100 fps.
