[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2257146, member: 10755"] You didn’t miss much, Federal brass is the worst in the industry. I thought I got a great deal many moons ago when I was given the opportunity to buy 5 boxes of Federal Safari Grade 338WM 250g Nosler Partition bullets & just $23 a box….shop prices were north of $60 a box. Took me some time to get through the 100, only to discover that not only was the nickel damaging my dies, but every single case had loose primer pockets! Then, some time later, Nosler brass hit the shelves here. Got a good price on that too…only to discover it was FEDERAL brass with a Nosler head stamp. When I weighed it, the jig was up, exactly the same weight and profile of some Federal brass 300WM I had been given. I was devastated and have only fired 10 of those cases and 5 of them have ejector marks from a middle level load. So disappointed. Never touched the stuff since. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
