[QUOTE="65WSM, post: 649434, member: 9551"] Nothing is softer than Remington brass. Remington is the cheapest brass they can put on the sale table in September just before hunting season. I works at the minimum level for handloading. Look at this metalurgy report. Remington is using the basic copper/zinc alloy it did a century ago. The handloaders market is dominated by alloys that contain iron or silicon or both to increase the case life and allow higher pressures. A friend of mine just went through a series of case separations with Remington brass in his .375 H&H on the second or third firing. This stuff was clearly not made for handloading.
