I've used LC brass for over 20 years, for everything,.. accurate loads, hunting loads, and FMJ loads. As a matter of fact if the LC brass was SO bad...the Gov. wouldn't use it in their 77 gr/5.56 match loads or their 175 gr/7.62x51 loads. Do your self a favor and order up, Dec. '08's issue of "Handloader" magazine. It has a test in it with .308 components, and the difference they make, bullets, brass (both once fired and virgin), primers...etc. VERY enlightening read.

I think Lapua brass is the most consistent followed by Hornady. (in weight - according to a chart I saw somewhere)
But LC brass can make accurate ammo. I just don't like it because of all the extra case prep needed. |

Some surprises, like number of reloads before case head separation for various brands of brass. |
