I voted for Winchester brass since that's what I use. I've used other brands. Remington handgun brass is prone to scallop around the mouth.

SPEER is pretty good stuff!
I've got a couple hundred that I've been reloading since the late 80's!

All I have ever used in .44 Magnum is Remington, both for the carbine and the handgun.  Never had any problems with it.

I mostly use Winchester, but I also use Remington brass.

I have some of almost everything, but when I need to buy, I get Starline for all of my pistols and revolvers.

Same here. I don't buy 44 magnum brass very often, but when I do, it's always Starline. I buy quite a bit of 357 magnum brass, and use Starline exclusively.

When it comes to straight walled cases, Starline simply can't be topped. If you buy it direct from Starline, it's also dirt cheap! The price you see listed on their web site includes shipping.

About How many reloads, do you all get out of your starline brass?  

I've been loading Hornady, winchester ,remington ,and magtech...    So far I can't tell any difference between them ..  
Thats why I posted this I wanted to see what the fine people here were using..  I guess it doesn't matter much. You use, what works for you.
Just curious  
Thanks to all

Mine are all Remington.  But if I get to pick and it's free, I go for Starline.
