    Good brass if you can get at a sensible price.

    I’ve never had any issues when reloading with it.

    £20 per 100 would be reasonable

    federal brass is good and once fired you don't want to be paying any more the £20 a 100 but if you go for new I really rate ppu there ammo is shite but the brass is spot on

    Federal brass can be good, but it can be a bit on the soft side.

    This.
    Although I found it cleaned up nice the brass was soft and needed constant trimming. I was taking off so much each time I was worried it was getting too thin. I have plenty of other brass so all the once fired FC brass got converted to .260 or .243 and used once, then binned.
    Good deals with: svincett, dave milne, Muskett, Dreben, roger.kerry, TALL, Helidave1, Chelseablue, Leeroy7031, Mousemann, pnuk, Practical, NEWFI, HOOGS, Webb22, lazybones1416 and deanw5262 among others. Thanks Guys.
