I cannot find Winchester and wonder if I should hold out or start with some Remington.
I do not want to keep switching if possible but it has been dry. Hate to switch and Winchester comes back around.
 
I have used them both and necked down to 260. I really prefer the Winchester. The primer pockets seem to last longer and have less weight variance. Really, IMHO the Win is just a higher quality overall. Try and find some 243/308 winchester brass and neck up or down. Very easy one step process with the thin necked Winchester.

Yep. Rem brass is soft. Can't handle a good stout load. It will do in a pinch.

I have reservations about one step cal resizing though. Yes, I'm anal about a few things. Everything else, not so much.
