| As NRA Highpower shooter using an AR-15, I had to pick brass that would last, because my volume of reloading exploded (no pun intended). Once fired Lake City is readily available, and seems to be the choice of many competitors. It has been outstanding.
I dedicated a box of Federal Gold Medal brass to my Cooper 223, and my problem is something seen by others....loose primer pockets after 2-3 loadings. I believe Federal brass to be softer than most, requiring moderate loads to keep it in service. Not bad brass, just not durable, in my experience. |

| No one shoots Federal brass in High Power competition as it has a reputation for being soft and losing primers. |

| I have never had a problem with American Eagle Federal Brass. It has been great to reload for my .357 and .44 mags. With these I shoot mid to high pressure loads. No primer pockets have ever gotten enlarged, and no neck splits. (On that same note I have UCM Remington brass form that same time bought with no problems either)
Brass is intresting. In 45 Colt for P++ loads with the custom 5 shot revolver the Federal brass with stood higher pressure than other brands.
