How does the SSA 260 brass compare to other brass such as reminton or lapua.
- Thread starter LongArm
- Start date
I'm replying to your post in the "Primer Recommendation" thread.
I've only used SSA brass for reloading; so I can't compare it to any other brands. Some of my once fired brass had loose primer pockets, but I think that's more due to me using Winchester LR primers, which are a tad smaller than some other brands. I will start using CCI primers on the twice fired brass, and am hoping the loose primers decrease or disappear altogether.
All in all, taking into account my extraordinarily limited knowledge and experience with reloading, I've been pleased with the results from using H4350 and 140 Hybrids with the SSA brass.

Not sure on their 260 brass but their 6.8 brass is a little tender in the primer cup area for my liking, but other than that it's been really good brass, just don't overcook it.
That figures, I was hoping it would be hard in the primer area. I was trying to move to it because of the loose primers.
I've heard it is very similar to Nosler.
Very similar.
Very similar.
