No, for all general purposes the only difference is free brass costs less.

 

[2muchgun]

I use a lot of different brands. Lapua is the best of the bunch IMO.....

 

[wahoowad]

I'm starting to shoot a lot of PMC 'Bronze' - is it worth saving my brass to sell off for a few bucks? Or should I just toss it into my range's brass bucket?

 

[rags]

free would be good , some of us have to buy it

 

[boone3380]

+1 on the Lapua, but it's expensive. I usually use winchester.

 

[shanedogg]

winchester bulk (for .223/.243/.22-250/.45acp) have served me well for purpose....

I shoot hundreds of reloaded PMC brass w/not a single issue.
My gun shoots any headstamped .223 brass I have reloaded into small groups and zillions of P-dogs are gone from mixed brass.

I mix and match 223 bass.. It all shoots pretty much the same to me. I just snag what ever I can...Jason

If I'm paying for it, Lake City has always given me good service...However, I use almost all commercial brass with equal results as far as accuracy...I just seem to get more reloads out of LC before the primer pockets go south..

My least favorite is Federal with the crimped primer and out of country military...

 

[Evil_Lurker]

Yeah, LC's good bang for the buck. I had to swage a lot of primer pockets the first go-around, but that's not a big deal for me.

I lose a lot of brass though, if all you're doing is bench shooting you might appreciate something like Lapua.

 

[Jack Roberts]

LC match brass is very good and you do not have to swage primer pockets.

[Ridgeline17]

Win brass seems like I keep coming up with it.

 

[DAB]

Hard to beat new LC brass.

It's been so long since I paid for .223 brass I don't remember what the cost is! I'm about to hang a note at our range to tell people to pick up their .223 brass. Ever time I go I tell myself not to do it but I just can't help it.

As others have said LC is going to be your best bet! I use all brands but when I'm going to be loading for groups I will grab the LC brass.

Other brass maybe nicer but is it worth the huge price?? Not in my eyes for .223 other calibers yes but not this one.

 

[pahntr760]

I like using LC in my 6x45. And I will likely use it in my 223, when I get it

I bought a bunch of the Lake City New Brass from Natchez when they had it on sale for $119.98 per 1000. It sure fire forms good in my 223AI.

Lapua
