Following on from the .270 into .25-06 thread (and not wishing to hijack it!) are we all a bit guilty of "brass snobbery"?
I know we are all "told" that Scandinavian brass is head and shoulders (oooof..bad pun!) above the rest but is it really "that" much better?
I hold my hands up here and admit I have spent fortunes on Lapua/Norma cases for .22-250, .243, 6.5 x55 , .30-06 and .300WM but have had excellent results with PPU in 6.5 x 55 and when chronying a .243 load , found the lowest SD was with good ol' cheap Federal cases.
On the flip side I've had a few issues with near case head separation (over sizing cases!!) and the worst culprit....Yep....Lapua!!
So do we get a little bit too snobbish about what brass we use?
Just some musings....
