[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2216781, member: 10755"] Ok, this is why I made my statement. Back in 2000, I was given 200 rounds of Federal Trophy 338WM 250g Partition (10 boxes). They were all nickel plated and shot well. I fired 1 box, and tried reloading it....nope, pockets were loose with all primers I tried. Gave those 20 and the other 9 boxes away. About 11 years ago, a guy at my club only ever shot Federal match 300WM, he didn’t reload but kept the brass. He offered me a bag of it, it was unknown how many were in there, but they all had been segregated to FC-10 head stamp. Every one of them had loose pockets. In fact, over the years, I have seen FC brass in everything from 222/22-250 up to 338 that had loose primer pockets with once fired factory ammo. I just will not buy it or use it. Their primer cups are soft too....do not know why, but they are. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
