| No, but I believe the low brass is cheaper. |

| I just place a cheddite order with Precision(much cheaper themBP) and was told it made no difference which is consistent with what I have heard over time. Ive always like the looks of low brass in upland loads. They are several dollars/500 then the others. |

Hello Gunho :
Nice to see you here, glad you could make it .
The high brass is a thing of a bygone era , it was needed back when paper was the pricipal hull material , but today low brass is the way to go .
Resizes easier , ejects easier , just the way to go , just as strong no difference .
Nice to have you aboard .
Regards Charles |

one question remains- does it look as cool?  |

As Charles says, no difference in strength. I find my 9000 collet sizer "wrinkles" the upper portion of the brass, always seems to loose the "wrinkles" when fired. But I certainly wouldn't pay any more for high brass.

Good point. But if you use low brass you have an alibi when you miss.......
