9mm Case Brand

New to pistol reloading

I recently printed off some 9mm loading data from the Hodgdon web site. All of the data called for Winchester cases. Can I use other brands as long as the meet the C.O.L. of 1.125"? What is the tolerance for this case dimension. 

As long as you are avoiding maximum loads, then mixed brass is fine. Few shooters separate handgun brass by brand, except for the most demanding of target shooters.

Winchester and Hodgdon are the same company. What other brass would they use? I don't worry about mixed brass, but then again I'm not a "bullseye" shooter. I load and shoot around 1200 rounds a week in various types of action competition.

Thanks everyone for the information. This makes things much easier.
