[QUOTE="green 788, post: 710872, member: 3781"] Federal brass is pretty commonly known to be substandard, at least for reloading. Get Winchester or Remington, and avoid nickel plated cases. Or if you really want the best, Lapua is the way to go. FC cases are too soft for repeated use, for most applications... Those marks you saw on the case head are over-pressure signs. The FC cases can't stand a lot of pressure, and will often show extractor smudges with less than SAAMI spec pressures. Dan [/QUOTE]
