P.S 'Willing to buy WW brass or order Lapua if you have a strong argument against the Federal stuff.
In the old days Federal brass and primers served me best.


From what I've gathered you may start loosening Federal 308 brass primer pockets before you get up to the load level typically used in your stated application.

I just got in a batch of 7RM Fed brass. Looks good.

Are you thinking it's softer than it should be?

I have run into some really soft Federal 308's, but that has been a while. Federal brass, of late, has given me good service. But it is thicker and lower capacity than others. The 155 Scenar is pretty long for its weight, so I'm thinking of capacity.
