This posting doesn't really cover the big - bore safari stuff, but...
My dad was an accuracy guy, hung up on details. He weighed everything, built a jig to measure neck thickness and wall thickness, and it quickly showed the inconsistencies of poor brass. (we both have training as machinists) Quickly proved - better brass, better accuracy.
The older mainstream Winchester and Remington brass proved to be quite variable - that being said it loaded and worked great - in a hunting scenario
Hands down winner in his testing was Nosler/Norma, with Hornady being a very close second. Surprisingly and not mentioned, maybe because of the limited calibres, was Weatherby brass. Tested out on par with the Norma/Nosler, and seems to have great longevity, considering the abuse it takes from the big magnums
