[QUOTE="CaptnC, post: 1414800, member: 101755"] While we are pointing out the short comings of brass. I was zeroing the 6.5-06 for 100 yard shots. The wife's rifle and she only shoots to a feederived 100 yes away. I was using mixed brass but same powder charge. The mix was Remington and Federal. Every single Federal case I had loaded leaked very slightly around the primer. No loose primers, but there was a little soot around all of them. Ended up pulling the bullets re-wieghted all the charges...spot on so I loaded them into Remington cases and pitched all the Federal cases in my scrap brass bucket. Charges are in the upper end, but not showing any signs of pressure on the Remington brass. The amount of trash around the flash hole and the soot around the primers...enough Federal for me. I remember my dad hated it when I was a kid. He wouldn't even pick it up... Hornady brass is laying around everywhere at the range I shoot at. They don't seem to mind us picking up brass...so as long as the price is this good (free) I will keep picking it up. [/QUOTE]
