[QUOTE="emp1953, post: 2158960, member: 71817"] I load FC brass. I bought a couple of thousand of demilled .270win .243win .308 brass 5 years ago. I clean them all, full length size and punch out the primer that comes with them. I load with CCI200 primers, They have never left me down and in my load I get 1/2 MOA at 225yds. Over that 5 years I have a test batch of forty 270 cases that I'm on the 10th loading with no case problems at all. Granted I'm not shooting a magnum, and my load is 51.2gr of IMR4350, so its not a particularly hot load. I understand that all cases are not created equal, but these Federals have been extremely consistent and reliable. And contrary to what has been stated here, I don't find them to be soft at all. They are all shot in the same rifle. I've found that the RP's and Lake City's that I've worked with seem to full length size with much less effort than the FC's which suggests to me that the FC's are harder, not softer. [/QUOTE]
