Black Hills brass
Posted: Sun Feb 07, 2016 9:27 pm
I just ordered a couple boxes of Black Hills Ammo. The 36 grain Barnes Varmint Grenade in .223, (hope my barrel likes it).
The plan is to find a decent factory load and then stock up and shoot it this season. Then I will have a good supply of brass (aim for 700-1000 brass) and can get serious about reloading and use the off season (fall and winter of 2016) to develop a load.
The Black Hills Ammo is a bit more costly, about $1.90 per round shipped to my door. (But even Winchester White box is well over $1 per round these days thanks to the CDN dollar) however I have heard and read that Black Hills brass is a premium brass, second only to Lapua.
If it groups great, then its no contest; I will stock up on it.
If it groups the same as the Winchester White box will I be well served to pay the slightly higher cost in order to end up with a premium brass??
