Federal Rifle Brass

[OK-gobbler]

Anyone tried the primed rifle brass from federal? 243, 25-06, 270. Natchez prices are considerable cheaper than win or rem brass. Why? Quality? Do you have to pay a haz mat fee on primed brass? Primers you do, ammo you don't.

Nope and I wouldn't either. Not that it's Federal brass. Although, some say Federal brass is a bit soft. I just want to control what components I use.

I have used it in 30-06 and it works as well as any brass I have found.

Take Care

I used Federal brass pretty much exclusively until they started selling it as primed brass only. It works just fine and I never found it to be soft. I would presume it's primed with Federal 210 primers. I frequently use Federal 210M primers which are about the same as 210 primers except they are allegedly of higher quality because they are match primers.

i haven't had very good luck w/ federal brass. it does ok, but doesn't work as well as winchester brass. brass life seems shorter.

I've had very good luck with the Federal primed .223 from Natchez (I think). Federal told me they use their standard SR primer.

I have been using the same 100 Federal cases I bought once fired on ebay for the passed year and 3 lbs of powder. No issues and accuracy seem fine
