Re: 6.5 Creedmoor Brass
So far the brass I have looks to be good. I don't bother with neck run out and all that jazz though. Nobody raves about Federal brass, but their FGGM loaded ammo seems to be desired for accuracy...
I did notice abnormally light neck tension on new CM brass though. Can't figure why that is, but I guess I'll start neck sizing my new CM brass from now on...
I guess time will tell, but so far so good here...

Re: 6.5 Creedmoor Brass
Ive one piece out of about the 500 that I have, have a loos primer pocket but, that happened to be one of the ones that I accidentally got WAAYY too much pressure and blew the primer out completely and jammed my ejector
but I threw that one away and unloaded the other 9 that I loaded the same. Other than that nothing but bug holes and yes, new neck tension seemed really tight to me also.

Re: 6.5 Creedmoor Brass
I haven't really loaded them enough yet to tell. I just got done burning through the factory loaded ammo and am working on some hand loads using some Scenars.
Out of all the factory mild loaded stuff, and the hotter loaded hand loads though, no primer pocket problems yet.

Re: 6.5 Creedmoor Brass
I got 4 loadings on some brass that was loaded with 1 grn over factory spec giving me about 2870fps with the 140 AMAX and the last time I reprimed them the pockets were as tight as they were the first time.
Also after sizing I check some of the lot and runout is usually around .001" on average. Fine for me.
Whenever something is new you will get detractors who most have never even used the product but repeat internet info.
