I haven't had a 308 for a number of years, but recently acquired a heavy barrel Howa. I have a few cases from several boxes of Federal Gold Medal Match ammo. It's working pretty good for my initial shakedown but I don't have more than about fifty cases.

I'd like to have some really good brass just see what my rig's potential is, but I hate to break the bank since my shooting is informal for pleasure and I don't shoot competitively.

I think I'm going to try the Peterson brass and just start with 100. Thanks all for the input, good to know Swift may be Norma, I've had some good loads in the past using Norma.
