300WM brass question

[JamesnTN]

Ouch, $3 a case for RWS.

Yea but it’ll outlast the others easily by far and run higher pressures. Money well spent on the brass.

Nope
RWS & Lapua would be the top 2 choices hands down

Yes but currently Lapua does'nt produce the 300 winchester magnum brass.
And finding unused boxes of the old 'Lapua brass, in numbers is not easy.

Ruag does produce they're own line of 300 WM too, with excellent brass but it does'nt get sold as empty cases for reloading as far as i know.

Federal GM ammunition. Headstamp is FC11. The boxes say Gold Match. I got lucky here, a member bought the ammunition, and decided to pull the bullets and load them into other brass. Go figure. I was able to buy 350 cases for 50-cents apiece with shipping. I have a Remmy in 300 Win Mag I bought 5-6 years ago. I shot different brands, and the GM brass had the most consistent weight, and shot the best groups, using the 190gr Sierra MK's. It morphed into an Eliseo tube gun, cut the group sizes in half. I put twelve rounds together with Win and Rem brass, and the Federal was still far and away the best for a fouler and a five shot group. Cleaned every target.

Yes... Lapua never made belted magnum brass... Any 300winmag brass with LAPUA headstamp was made by someone else for Lapua.

I too have been using 300winmag brass from the factory FGMM ammo, and out of 250 pcs that I weighed the difference from lightest to heaviest is 2.5 grains. I just checked if it came from the same lot #, but just looking at the case heads some say FC 14 and others only say FC. Still have a couple boxes of the FGMM ammo and the lot #'s are not the same. I always thought I had them from the same lot #, but just checked right now and that's not the case. Either way, this FC FGMM brass is holding up very well and shooting very well too.
