Any info on the Federal U\'mag brass?

Has anybody done anything with the Fed brass that was offered by the place in WY?

Jay, are you talking about the 300 RUM Federal brass that caused a stir a few months back? If so, I also would be quite interested in any report. How has it compared to the Remington brass?

Thanks, Jon Denham

Yes, that is the brass I am interested in hearing about. A number of people were ordering it and then the thread just died.
I'm waiting........

I ordered a 250 piece lot. Looks like a good bunch. The only thing I have done sofar is measure the water capacity of a few cases. I must tell you that I necked them down to .284 to fire in my factory 7 Ultra. The capacities are as followed;

1) 112.9
2) 112.7
3) 113.2
4) 113.0
5) 113.1
6) 112.9
7) 113.0
8) 113.0
9) 113.1
10) 112.8
11) 112.8
12) 112.7
13) 113.0
14) 112.9
15) 112.9
16) 112.9
17) 113.3
18) 113.3
19) 113.0
20) 112.2

The Hi is 113.3 and the Lo is 112.2. The average is 112.935grs of H2O. It also looks like a 215 primer is used and sealed. Maybe someone else has measured wall variations.
