I started loading for my Valkyrie yesterday and today. I bought 100 new Federal brass so I could meet Midway's free shipping minimum when I got mags.

I noticed 2 things about this Federal brass.

1: For being new brass, it is very inconsistent. When neck sizing I had 3 pieces get stuck in the die because the case body actually got resized. So I had to full-length size all my new brass.
2: The primer pockets already feel very loose. Maybe I am used to hand-priming LC brass for my MK262 clone loads where I control the swage but these primer pockets are far looser feeling than my .308 brass with 8 firings on it. Perhaps I will have to invest in a primer pocket go/no-go or move to CCI 41 Primers.
