I have found certain companies make superior brass in certain calibers.
Examples: 45Colt. WW & RP brass is weak and thin. Luck to get more than 3 reloads before the case mouth cracks appear. Starline however makes brass in this caliber that is thick and strong. I have reloaded Starline cases in 45 Colt 10 times and the brass looks like it could go thru 10 more.
45-70. For this round & shooting Black Powder (BP), I like WW because the brass is slightly longer & thinner, thus I can get 3-4 more grains of BP in the case. When shooting an 1895 Marlin, I like Federal because the cases are thicker & stronger than WW or RP.
Norma brass, although costs much more, would be my brass of choice in the belted magnums. My experiences are less case stretch with max or near max loads.
If you shoot some of the milsurps, PriviPartisan is your only choice. I have been impressed with their brass. Case stretch has been minimal or nonexistent in some calibers, but then I never even get close to max loads with the milsurps
