New 2009 LC (uncrimped) or Winchester commercial for 5.56 reloads. Both are about the same price. Which is better?

In my experience, the Win commercial was better. BUT, I only had a small sample of LC 06.

Both are good but I would get the Winchester.

If case volume could be a factor I would go with the LC09.
Winchester has a web thickness of .191 average and a .372" rim for the cases I've measured.
LC09 was .186 web thickness. Rim diameter of .374". Should provide a bit more volume.

If one is crimped and the other not crimped, the choice is easy, you can save a lot of time not having to fool with removing the crimp, even though its a one time thing, it still takes time that could be used on something else.
