I am trying to get into reloading but at the moment powder is still hard to find. So I am trying to stock pile ammo then later on when I shoot it use the brass to reload. What manufacturers use the best or most reloadable brass? I probably have 700 rounds of Lapua new and fired so I really dont need stuff like Corbon who do indeed use Lapua brass.

I think I would be ok with LC quality brass as I have some of that stuff also. Does Hornady use good brass that lends itself to multiple reloads? This is stuff that will be shot through my AR10 gas gun so I am not shooting for extreme accuracy. I would just like to be able to stock pile a few thousand rounds of ammo and be able to shoot that and reload when I can. Thanks!
 
Just about any brand name really.

Lapua, Winchester and FC are the ones I hear the most about getting several reloads through them. Some guys have even claimed 20+ reloads on win NATO brass.

I'm on my 3rd run of my WCC NATO and 2nd on my federal
 
FC seems to have a bad rep in the multiple reload department. I know I threw away a bunch of FC 223 brass a few yrs ago because it wouldn't hold a primer. Winchester and LC seem to be the most liked.
