Westerner;

I dunno nothing about nickeled brass.. but Federal brass (in .308 and .223) has had a reputation for decades as being soft.  In Highpower, when I started with the M1A (early 90's) I was told not to bother with Federal .308 brass, as I'd only get 1-2 reloads out of it before the pockets were swelled and useless.  

Not being overly bright, I picked up a batch of once fired Federal brass cheap, and sure enough, I found that I got ONE reload out of it.

I missed the dope on Federal brass Paul. Learned the hard way that time.  I went back to the old Lake City match brass I had been using. A neck splits once in a while. Many reloads on that LC brass.  Wink

Never had good luck with federal brass in anything, best 308 brass I've found is the Norma stuff.
