Remington or Winchester Brass for .220 Swift?

cbhester · February 5, 2010, 12:15 PM

I'm new to reloading and want to get the best brass for my needs. I varmint hunt just a little and do alot of target shooting for fun not competition. I want to find which ever brand of brass that has the best combination of accuracy, durability and needs as little work after being shot as possible. Anyone have any suggestions? I have heard that Remington holds up better than Winchester?

Typically Rem brass is heavier than Winchester...wall thickness is greater which normally means higher pressures for equal weights of a given powder. Otherwise it's a personal preference....I use Winchester..got them cheap quite few years ago and haven't worn them out yet.
