I agree with the general consensus that winchester and hornady seem to be the best American made brands. Remington ammo is well made but the brass is not long lasting with reloads. A few years ago in Ft. Worth, Texas at a gun show I bought what was supposed to be 100 pieces of brass for 22-250. It was all remington and the method they used was to weigh it out instead of counting or having precounted bags ready to sell. When I got home instead of 100 pieces I instead had 177. It made me wonder about the thickness of the brass. I used the stuff and it worked fine but did not last as long as winchester brass that I also had. 77 pieces seems like a really high number so I suppose it is possible that the guy weighing the stuff made a mistake and nearly double dosed me. But the remington still doesn't hold up as well in my experience.
