Last fall I came across a bunch of once fired 6.5 Creedmoor in one of the range brass buckets at our club's shooting table hut.
I couldn't resist the shiny stuff and took it home.
There were seventy cases in total, 20 Hornady nickel plated, 20 Winchester and 40 Gold Medal Match Federal
I didn't pay much attention to them when I put them in a bag and stored them on the shelf for a time when I might need them
That time came today.
I picked up a very nice ATA in 6.5 Creedmore from a fellow that found it online, last year and never shot it.
So, I weighed all of the brass to keep them consistent and the 50 GMM were at least ten grains heavier than the other two and there was a workable/shootable quantity.
Well, to my surprise, these cases had "SMALL PRIMER POCKETS"
Maybe that's why they were tossed???? Or maybe because some folks just don't like Federal brass??
