I bought some new Remington 300 RUM brass about a year or so ago and just recently opened the bag for some load work I'm doing. It looks and feels very cheap.
I got some 300 Dakota brass in last week and it looks and feels like much higher quality. I weighed a handful of case each and the Rem 300 RUM cases weighed 269 gr on average and the 300 Dakota wieghed 266 gr which is a little over 1% difference in weight vs over 10 % difference in volume. And their both based off the 404 Jeffery.
You would think that for a clambering like the 300 RUM, Remington would spec a higher quality brass.
