[QUOTE="Grumulkin, post: 1737120, member: 8239"] 1. Military 308 and 30/06 brass has less case volume so loads will probably have to be decreased by a grain or two. I don't think this is true of 223 brass but prudence would dictate you work up your loads for the particular brass you're using. 2. In the December 2008 issue of Handloader magazine there was a test of 308 Winchester brass durability. Nosler and Federal military brass, both 10 reloadings to failure, were the worst but still in the bottom half of the heap were Hornady, Federal plain and Federal nickel plated brass. Winchester brass was better than all Federal brass at 14 reloadings to failure. Remington plain and nickel plated were some of the best with 20 and 22 reloadings to failure respectively. Norma was the best with 24 reloadings to failure. [/QUOTE]
