[QUOTE="johnnyk, post: 2106285, member: 307"] [I]2010, 2011 and 2019. That's not that old. I have a case (500ct) of Remington in 7mmRM that I've had for probably close to 20 years. Some of it's only been shot once or twice but it's not the age that ruins your brass. It's how it's been taken care of; was it used for high pressure loads, which enlarge the primer pockets to the point it's useless, or maybe it wasn't and the previous owner(s) took care of it and even annealed it. Maybe the ones marked with the year designation (10,11,19) are range pickups, as in military rounds. If that's the "case" :) they probably are once-fired. I searched for the "HE" Federal head stamp and found "The High Road" forum entries from 2010-2011 talking about Federal's "High Energy" ammo. This was head stamped as such but was from around 2000. I would clean, anneal, prep and FL resize and shoot it but keep an eye out for failures. [/I] [/QUOTE]
