Hello all, chronic lurker here checking in with a simple question, could not find the answer via search. I have been reloading ammo for about 10 years now, but never for long distance precision. I have mopstly RCBS equipment (which I plan to upgrade next week after reading the informative posts on here.) Typically I use Winchester brass (new and used) and also various brands of once-fired, like Lake City, etc.
My question is this: Since I am honing my skills and tooling to reload for precision (at distances greater than 300yds) is it worth it to buy more expensive brass (such as the aforementioned Lapua) or is there really no difference as long as I treat the brass I'm using as precision brass (meaning matching cases, trimming, etc.)
The probablility that I will be shooting over 800yds is pretty slim, mostly due to lack of a place to do it.
Thank you in advance for your expertise, and apologies again if this was already covered.
Brian.
