mixed brass

[BigAl]

In the course of trying out a new gun, I bought 15 or so different factory loads for my 223. (I like to have at least one factory load for all my rifles that is fairly accurate) Are there loads that are safe to use with different brass? I can't stand waste but I'd hate to work up a load for 20 Remington cases and then turn around and work up another for 20 Winchester cases. I was thinking maybe a load on the lighter end of things for short range calling with minimal pelt damage. I know the proper thing to do is to use the same components for each load, but what do you do with those extra cases?

Trade the brass for what you want. Or just use it as backup or plinking rounds.

 

[BigAl]

so it is safe to use them all, regardless of brand for plinking loads?

Unless you are pushing max pressures and looking for sub.5 MOA groups, you can use the brass to hunt with. You will only notice the difference on paper.

Cool! Thanks! I plan on buying 1000 cases when I can, but would like to use these also.
