RWS 22hornet brass

          Anybody ever use RWS brass? Is it worth the extra money? My biggest thing is weight consistency

I pay for weight consistency in a different way. I weigh my cases and put them in three groups. There is a median group that will contain about 80% of the bullets in any caliber and make. Those that are heavier I use for light loads for varmints and plinking. The lighter brass is great for practice rounds at targets. For any serious shooting I use the middle weight cases. I work my load up in them and get the highest accuracy in the fastest load available. Accuracy and consistency are the primary concerns with velocity a close second. If a load shows real good accuracy at one sitting but acts up at consecutive outings I discard that load in consideration of another that retains its accuracy over a wider range of variables. I need predictable ammo if I am going to shoot it year round and at varying altitudes.

Hodgdon, Lyman, Speer, Sierra, Hornady = reliable resources
so and so's pages on the internet = not reliable resources
Alway check loads you find on the internet against manuals.
NEVER exceed maximum listed loads.

  Thanks PaulS  I never looked at it that way. I'll try that method with a new lot of brass I have.
