The Federal blue box has shot good to extremely good in 270, 30-06, 25-06 and 6.5CM. However, I reloaded some of the 30-06 brass for my brother and it was about the worst brass I have ever seen. I told him to shoot the reloads and then eject the brass as I wasn't going to load it a second time. I guess when they sell it cheap something has to be cut in the manufacturing process. But the 25-06 brass has been good as I have reloaded it several times with no issues.
My experience is it needs annealing at a high frequency..
