[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 419604, member: 2011"] I'm thinking that Federal brass will be similar to Nosler brass which is 'soft in the head' allowing primer pocket expansion with what would be normal pressures in Win or Rem brass. I never did think much of the nickle coated brass. Seemed to begin to peel off after awhile and made turned necks look not so nice. In my old age I'm thinkin' that you're on the right track by backing off a couple of grains. I shoot only 300 grain bullets in mine and don't have much experience with the lighter bullets. The important thing is to keep your accuracy. About anything you hit with that bullet starting near that velocity is a good as in the freezer. [/QUOTE]
