[QUOTE="D.Camilleri, post: 974620, member: 2567"] I have quite a bit of federal premium nickel brass for my 338 rum. At first I really liked the idea of the nickel because it is very slick and doesn't tarnish like brass. The bad is that federal brass is soft, kind of like nosler and full power loads have made my primer pockets loose. As a matter of fact, I have half a case of federal premium 338 rum loaded with 225 accubonds and the brass ends up with loose primer pockets after one firing. My Remington brass does much better. As was said above, try some 215 grain bergers starting with about 90 grains of retumbo, load to magazine length. Bullets.com had 215's in stock a week ago. [/QUOTE]
