Already have a decent amt (~250 cases with a viable load developed and don’t feel like switching gears now. Load itself should be relatively easy on the primer pockets as it’s not at the bleeding edge / at pressure.
I may switch to better brass down the road but for now, this works.
Fair enough. Worst case, you could always research which brand of brass has the same internal volume as your Federal and use those? Just a thought. I have some 6.5 brass but not sure what brand. I’ll check later.
