So I'm picking up ~1000 cases of once fired Federal Gold Medal Match once fired sometime next week. From what I've read through the search function, the primer pockets on this brass fail easily and will result in loose primers after 1-2 firings.
Once I've worked up a nice accurate load I intend to make ~600 rounds of high quality ammo (~40-43 gr varget, CCI #34, 150 gr Hornady SST Interlocks), seal the primers and bullets and squirrel it way for a rainy day. (I'm replacing several sealed battle packs of 30 year old ammo with this stuff)
How well will FGMM serve for this purpose? I understand that the factory loaded ammo is some of the very best available so logically this must mean that the tolerances on the brass are pretty precise, regardless of it's reloading longevity.
Opinions?
