[QUOTE="Jcann, post: 3567558, member: 33119"] Just because the Winchester brass didn’t shoot as well doesn’t mean it can’t or won’t shoot as well. Differences in H2O volume, neck tension, and base to ogive can easily cause this to happen. I’ve used three different brass manufacturers for my 260 (Remington, Lapua, and Peterson) and I get great results using the same powder, bullet, and primer with the only difference being powder charge weight and base to ogive length. The only down side being, what works in my 260 doesn’t work well in my sons 260. I’ve found the upper velocity node with Remington brass and the lower velocity node with the Lapua brass in my sons 260. I’m still searching for the upper velocity node for my Tikka but most of my Remington brass has loose primer pockets. I only shoot Winchester brass in my 7WSM and I’ve basically shot the same load for over 10 years now with the only difference being the base to ogive length. It will still shoot sub 1/2moa Reloaders crank out plinking ammo while handloaders tune their ammo to their weapon system. Try tuning that Winchester brass to your rifle and I bet you’ll see a difference. [/QUOTE]
