What reed1911 said is about right.
The Lapua brass is a little softer and easier to derim and I find Winchester brass quiet hard and brittle these days. If you are going to draw it down and trim to a certain length of jacket you will find the variances are reduced simply because you are using less material. Sort by head stamp and if you know some of the shooters where you get your brass, collect from individual rifles that do not tear the brass with the firing pin. Like everything it is all about consistency. Know your annealing temps and times and lube requirements when core seating and point forming. These aspects have far more influence on the final outcome than manufacturers of the brass.
