Good news for you 7.62x54R shooters
« on: August 06, 2004, 07:52:09 AM »
In research on rifles Im looking to buy with my C&R lic. when it comes I looked into brass for reloading.  Currently you basically only get S&B (which I heard stinks,) and Norma and Lapua which costs an arm and a leg.  Well it now looks like Winchester is going to be making brass now.  According to Midway USA the release date will be in Nov.

Graf has house brand brass at a reasonable price. I bought a bag and it seems to be of decent quality.

I'm very pleased with my Graf brass. More so than the last batch of Rem. brass.

I bought 500 lot(I was on last years waiting list while it was being made) and the cases are very nice. I weighted them out(first 100) and the weight difference was with in + - 10 grains. 60% were with in + - 1grain.
