[QUOTE="Hummer70, post: 2972158, member: 85770"] Federal cases have been of the soft side for over 30 years. About 1990 two Federal engineers stopped by Camp Perry and I got introduced to them and I asked them why their cases were so soft and they said it was a cost of production savings. The more brass is moved in case forming the harder it gets. The said they used less steps to cut down on production costs. In their 308 cases the military teams were using we picked them up,loaded them two more times and left them laying. Now I ran tests using Lake City 7.62 Match cases and loaded them about 90 times and they were still good. I have a LC 65 30.06 case I have loaded 157 times and it still has a snug primer pocket. I have seen similar in some Lapua 30.06 cases and had several primers fall out of fired cases when bolt was opened. [/QUOTE]
