[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 700547, member: 10291"] It's been a few years but I have shot a few thousand rounds of Federal match 308 and 223 brass. Similar to previous posts, I also experienced variable neck tension as well as a large percentage of cases that had excessive neck runout that full length resizing wouldnt cure. I would have to sort the cases which meant trashing about 20-25%. Usually got about 5-6reloads out of the sorted cases before the primer pockets opened up too much. Having said that I did get superb accuracy from my sorted cases. I ended up switching to Lapua cases, and got more than twice the reloads, consistent neck tension, and less than .003" of runout. Equivalent accuracy. Remington brass was crap and this continues to be the case with some rrcent with loose primer pockets after one or two reloads. Wichester,is Ok, but the brass is thin and required a bushing change. They didn't have the accuracy of the Federal and Lapua brass. [/QUOTE]
