308 Winchester brass question

[Struggles]

I'm new to reloading and have a dumb question. I have once fired Winchester brass .308 out of my rifle from Winchester super-x and buffalo bore factory ammo. They all weigh the same within 2 grains, would you mix them together as if they were from the same lot or keep them separate?

If it were just plinking ammo, I wouldn't worry about it.

If you're trying to load target type ammo I would segregate it if I were using multiple charge weights.

It probably won't matter too much if they're within 2 grs. as you say, but I have OCD and that's how I would do it.

If you do load them all up with a single charge weight, I would at least group them by headstamp and fire them in that order.

I try and do 5 shot denominations (typical 5 shot groups,) so if I could do 30 Winchester brand and 20 BB, then that's fine, or 25 & 25, or 35 and 15 for a total of 50, in a box. I wouldn't want to do 37 Winchester and 13 BB, for example, but I'm just a hack, so what do I know?

That way, at least you're being somewhat consistent.

OCD or not, load up all together, they'll be fine, you won't notice any difference.

Alright, thanks guys. Buffalo bore uses Winchester brass so they all have the same headstamp. I'll gets to prepping them and working up a load
