Over a considerable number of years my shooting partner and I have used many thousands of the Remington 7 1/2 BR's. My partner an accomplished loader and shooter is convinced they are better for long cases such as the .223 and .222 Magnum, as opposed to the PPC variety of case. During this time frame we also used many thousands of CCi BR and Fed 205M's and with the exception of lot to lot variation, my vote went to the Federal offering. I have to go with the majority of BR shooters who in competition would never settle for an inferior product, only the best will do. I guess I can't say with absolute authority that one is superior, I would use any in a pinch as I can't shoot the difference they offer.
