[QUOTE="freddiej, post: 2082111, member: 26227"] JD Young, yes it was. I am dyslexic and sometimes I switch numbers and letters around. I think that the Federal brass might be just soft due to the alloy they are using. I have yet to see a Federal piece of brass every split. They stretch really good but never have the lasted much longer than a few reloads. one reason is they stretch very easily and well. I think they are just too soft. the addition of Nickel to the outside of their casings might have been a quick fix. I do not know. I have have great luck with Federal brass int he past, the more recent brass I have been having a world of problems with. hot hunting loads in my 270 Winchester have have some case head separation with only a 0.004" excessive head space. and some other smaller problems. I just have given up on Federal so far. as for the new 22LR's I just am not in the habit of looking for them. I am not sure they have the same problem they used to. When Winchester works so good, I figured, "Why change?" [/QUOTE]
