Re: Win vs Rem vs Starline brass?

Starline is my favorite in handgun brass. When I can’t get It, I look to WINCHESTER.
But, I do just mix them when I load.

I weigh every round after loaded. I’ve found brands can be as much as a couple grains diff in weight.

But, especially in these days. I’ll take whichever I can find.
