Are they interchangable? Or is the "BHA Match" headstamped brass different specs than the generic WIN brass you get from the Walmart hunting loads?

Cool. I have some of both once fired but not enough of either to have enough for a homogenous batch for a load testing session. If I could mix them together - I would be golden on quantity for a while so I can keep like brass together.
Any contrary opinions?

Reaper,
This would be a good place to do that case volume comparison trick. Once fired in your chamber is ideal. Do NOT size or pop primers. Check OAL and trim to same length. Fill with very fine powder (I use TAC) and see if they have the same capacity (top one off level with top of neck then pour that into the other). If the variance within one group is greater than the variance between the two, you're good to go. You don't need to check them all, just enough to get a feel for what's really going on.
