being in a bad economy i thought it was a good idea to try out some new brass. ive always used lapua brass for my 308 and never had anything bad to say about it. i went to the store and bought two 50 round bags of winchester brass and went to work. ive gotta say it was a lot of work, the primer pockets took the longest time. i went to the range today with 100 rounds of win. and 50 rounds of lapua and i could not believe how bad the groups were at 100 yrds with the win. the only thing i did not do with the win. brass is neck turn it, maybe thats what made a difference with the groups. is anyone else using win. brass? have you had any success with it?

Never had an issue with Winchester brass and I use a lot of it. It does take a bit more prep work but I have always got it to shoot. I'd take 427cobras advise.

What calculations can you make to transfer known accurate load data to different brass without going through a whole OCW/ladder test again. Or something that at least gets you in the ball park?
