[QUOTE="bigedp51, post: 1155263, member: 28965"] Below is a link from accuratershooter.com where discussions on brass hardness come up all the time. The biggest problem I have had in the past was with Federal brass being too soft. I had factory loaded Federal .223 cases that had over sized primer pockets after the first firing. This is caused by two things, soft brass and a thin flash hole web that decreases the strength of the case in the base. Example below showong the thinner web in a Federal case, bottom line Federal and Remington have the softest brass.
