Speer vs CCI brass?

[gwalchmai]

Y'all see any difference between these other than headstamp?

Since they're made by the same company, I would not anticipate much difference.

I highly doubt there's a different line for each. I'm guessing they run off what they need with each headstamp and there's no difference between them at all.

At one time , CCI/Speer brass was made by Starline. Don't know if it still is. Starline made brass for several major and minor ammo companies for many years before they started selling to the public.

Since CCI and Speer are owned by the ame company that owns Federal (ATK), I would think that all of the brass these days offered by any of those companies would be the same. Maybe even all made by Federal?

In .45ACP at least, CCI and Speer are virtually identical and share a slight concavity on the base of the case, which indicates they are built to the same specs and possibly on the same equipment. Federal is different and has the customary flat base.
In 9mm, Blazer Brass also has the concavity mentioned above, but it is hard to notice. I don't have any Federal to compare but I'm going to stick my neck out and say it has a flat base like the .45.
They are all under the ATK umbrella but there are still two independent operations, CCI/Speer in Lewiston, ID, and Federal in Anoka, MN.

have you loaded much of the speer nickle 9mm and .45acp? seems to me that's it's better than fed or rem due to the sizeing die resistance. purely objective I should say.
