Thread: Federal and Federal Premium brass

Woody, i have a heap of FC .308 brass here that I'm preparing for first reloads and asking the same questions. Given how much blue box federal get sold there should be plenty of user experience about. General internet forum feedback is pretty consistent on this topic. Brass quality is ok. Heavier, thicker than WW brass and a touch softer.

Reload life in the range of 5-10 loads dependent on how much you hot rod it, primer pockets go first as you would expect. I'd likely revalidate my load data up front if your running it hard.
