[QUOTE="CaptnC, post: 1893800, member: 101755"] I would stay away from Federal brass. I've had problems with it before myself. I shoot a lot of range pickup brass and was loading a box of 50 6.5 Grendel brass when I noticed two cases were up in the neck. With Benchmark powder it is a compressed load in the 6.5 Grendel so I'm used to seeing a lot of powder in the cases. Normally I can lightly tap the cases and the powder level goes down. But not these two, so I stopped to find out why. Turned out I had picked some federal cases. I did load them with a reduced load and ended up with the same velocity but the ES and SD were not acceptable. Also Federal cases have a ton of shavings around the flash hole. I've broken two flash hole tools trying to clean up the flash holes. I ended up just using a drill...it was too much for me. [/QUOTE]
