[QUOTE="slikmrc, post: 2079087, member: 116436"] I used Federal nickel plated brass for two rifles this past year. Used 4 300 WBY cases for fowling rounds on a load work up loaded with 79 gr 7828 and 180 gr bullet. Loaded 50 30-06 cases with 125 gr bullets for off hand practice on my 280 yard plate. Checked the pockets with .210 & .2095 pin gauges when new and after firing. The pockets new will allow .210 to just start and the .2095 went slightly farther in. 2 of the wby cases allowed the .210 pin to bottom out at firing #8, 1 case bottomed at #10. 1 case allows pin to go about half way after 10 firings. The 30-06 cases are x1 and show no signs of expanding with the 125 gr load. Wby case were loaded with 215 primers and 06 were WLR primers. None of these cases showed any signs of leaking around the primer. I use lots of different brass, working up loads I watch case head expansion and load rounds to try and get good case life. [/QUOTE]
