[QUOTE="Engineering101, post: 1155273, member: 63138"] In addition to the case construction, the ratio of copper to zinc also determines how soft a case will be. The more zinc, the harder the brass. The tradeoff is that more zinc also means the brass will work harden faster thus needing annealing more frequently. Personally I'd rather have to anneal a little more often than loose the brass to blown primer pockets prematurely. Here are some copper/zinc ratios for several brass manufacturers. Rem 80/20 Federal 78/20 Norma 77/23 Lapua 75/25 Winchester 72/27 As you can see, Rem and Federal are on the softer end. [/QUOTE]
