Brass quality how important is it?

Hey guys just getting ready to convert my 7Rem mag into a 6.5 PRC. I am going to be shooting 147 gr ELD-M’s. On shoot to hunt podcast they talk about how important brass is. Obviously softer Hornaday brass will show pressure signs sooner, than harder brass. I’m an average shooter probably going to try and shoot out to 700 yards but hunting I will be sub 500. So here’s the question. How important is the brass? Is Hornaday good enough or should I go all into the ADG or Lapua brass? As an average shooter am I going to see the inconsistencies of the cheaper brass?

You’ll get better SDs and more consistent neck tension with higher quality brass. Not to mention better brass life. With a 6.5 prc I’d pick up 200 pieces off good brass and they’ll last the life of your barrel.
If you’re gonna go cheap on brass I’d grab starline over Hornady.

I generally won’t even get into a rifle if Excellent brass is not available. Alpha, ADG, Lapua etc.
