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. Similar for me too. The 300 WM brass I have is very good, accuracy, speed, & malleable (reusable).

Parts of the bullets exited as shrapnel exits. I pulled the rest of those and loaded GOOD c/c bullets FOR the 300 WM. Main Point is Some Federal ammo uses Hot Cors....Some does (do) NOT.
