All I remember from my early days was typical brass alloys got harder with the higher alloy number.
Low (200's) were good for forming and the higher 300's machined easier and cleaner, but generally are more brittle and don't really like bending. Can't really get sharp 90 degree bends, always has a radius. I think having the "V" groove was an excellent approach.
